Chapter 64: Retreat

Qin Yuan took his brothers and followed Zhang Chi all the way to the vicinity of Qiqihar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two chose to part ways here, and Zhang Ying was also picked up in the team.

Zhang Ying saw Qin Yuan return safely, and her tears fell down at that time.

Every day in Qiqihar, she can hear people talking about the heavy casualties on the battlefield on the front line, how many people have been killed today, and how many people will be killed tomorrow.

She was very worried about the safety of Qin Yuan and the others, the guns were ruthless, maybe a bullet would be forever separated.

Now that Qin Yuan has finally returned safely, Zhang Ying is of course very happy.

But looking left and right, I found that only these dozens of people were left in the team, all with sad faces, and only two of the dozen or so brothers who came out of the cottage with her.

Needless to ask, Zhang Ying also understood that most of the others had died in battle.

With a team of more than 400 people, nearly ninety percent of the personnel was reduced, and what a tragic battle.

She couldn't hold back any longer and cried.

Qin Yuan understood her feelings, the dead were all their robed brothers, and no one would feel good.

He stepped forward and hugged Zhang Ying in his arms, and Zhang Ying was crying silently at this time.

And the other brothers were also full of tears when they heard Zhang Ying's crying, people's hearts are flesh and blood, no one is an iron man, and they will have emotions to vent.

At this time, the so-called Anti-Japanese Pioneer Independent Regiment of the Three Eastern Provinces had already existed in name only, with less than 50 people left, and two of the three battalion commanders were killed, leaving only Zhang Fenglin alone.

Zhang Chi persuaded Qin Yuan to let him continue to follow General Ma Zhanshan, and his future was limitless.

Because in Zhang Chi's eyes, Qin Yuan is a rare general.

With a force composed of a defeated army and bandits, he traveled thousands of miles from Liaoning to Heilongjiang to participate in the War of Resistance, not to mention, he led his brothers to fight with the devils on the battlefield in the past few days, and Zhang Chi felt very admired.

As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, and Ma Zhanshan's subordinates are now lacking young officers like Qin Yuan who dare to fight.

In particular, the Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War team suffered heavy losses this time, and it was urgent to replenish a group of capable grassroots officers to the troops, stabilize the morale of the soldiers below, and at the same time train new recruits to boost their combat effectiveness.

Zhang Chi promised Qin Yuan that as long as he continued to follow General Ma Zhanshan, then he would guarantee Qin Yuan the position of the head of the main regiment.

You must know that the Northeast Army's seniority ranking is very serious, and if you want to achieve the level of regiment commander, it is impossible not to have more than ten years of seniority.

Zhang Chi can be regarded as having made a bloody investment this time, he really appreciates Qin Yuan and hopes that Qin Yuan can stay.

But Qin Yuan refused.

He remembered the noisy surrender of Ma Zhanshan in his previous life.

After the defeat of the Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War, Ma Zhanshan was forced to retreat to Helen. At this time, his team had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and many patriotic young people who came to join the army did not even have a rifle.

After the fall of Harbin, Helen became precarious, and the Kwantung Army could free up its hands to attack Helen at any time.

But at the moment, the troops in Ma Zhanshan's hands simply don't have enough ammunition and weapons, and they can only compete with them!

At the same time as the Kwantung Army dispatched troops, it also sent senior military officers such as Seishiro Itagaki as representatives to negotiate with Ma Zhanshan and peacefully resolve the issue of anti-Japanese armed forces in Heilongjiang.

In the end, in order to delay time, avoid its edge, and not make unnecessary sacrifices, Ma Zhanshan promised to meet with Itagaki Seishiro and other representatives of the Kwantung Army, and verbally promised that the Japanese army would not clash with him and other conditions, and agreed with the idea of Japan-Manchurian goodwill.

In February 1932, Ma Zhanshan announced his surrender to Japan, and then served as the governor of the puppet Heilongjiang Province, and later served as the military and political minister of the puppet Manchukuo.

Immediately, there was an uproar in China, and all kinds of crusades were heard.

However, just when the world was competing to abuse, Ma Zhanshan made another stunned move.

In early April, he secretly used 12 cars and 6 cars to transport 24 million yuan, 300 war horses, and other military supplies out of the city, once again raised the banner of resistance against Japan, and galloped on the anti-Japanese frontier in the northeast border.

It was not until this time that people suddenly realized that Ma Zhanshan did not really surrender to the Japanese army, but played a trick on the Japanese.

Later, due to the unfavorable war, on December 4, 1932, he retreated into the Soviet Union by train from Manchuria.

Ma Zhanshan is from a bearded background, he may be more realistic, and he will not let the brothers shout empty slogans, take a sickle, rush at the devil's machine gun, and make a senseless sacrifice, so he can choose to surrender to the devil.

His choice was not wrong, it was just a tactic and a strategy to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle under extreme conditions, and it even played a positive role in better striking at the Japanese aggressors.

But for Qin Yuan, he couldn't follow Ma Zhanshan to surrender together.

Countless brothers died at the guns of the devils, and their bones were not cold, but they wanted to compromise and beg the Japanese for mercy on their knees, even if they surrendered, he could not accept it.

The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, Qin Yuan thinks that he is not a saint, but he also has his own bottom line, death is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no dignity in life!

When he came to the troubled times, Qin Yuan did not seek to be famous and leave history in history, because by that time he was already dead.

He only wants to be right with his conscience, worthy of these three words of Chinese!

Rejecting Zhang Chi's kindness, after Zhang Chi repeatedly asked to stay, Qin Yuan still decided to leave Heilongjiang with the team and set off towards Guannei.

According to Qin Yuan's idea, starting from Qiqihar and detouring through the Horqin Banner, and then going south along the Mongolian Plateau from the Horqin Banner to Rehe Province.

And now it was the end of 1931, and Rehe had not yet fallen, as long as it got there, the team was temporarily safe.

This journey is a long way, it can be described as a thousand miles, dangerous and unknown.

But the three eastern provinces have basically all fallen, and staying here to fight guerrillas is a very unwise choice in Qin Yuan's opinion.

History has proven that the guerrilla teams that remained in the three eastern provinces basically did not end well, and they were either exterminated by devils, betrayed by traitors, or destroyed under harsh natural conditions.

As long as there is still a little chance, Qin Yuan will definitely not choose to stay.

Ice and snow, people and horses, lack of food and clothing, and even no ammunition, any of these factors may wipe out Qin Yuan's army in this white mountain and black water.

What's more, the main battlefield of the future anti-Japanese resistance is in Guannai, in that vast and beautiful land.

There will be countless exciting and exciting blockbusters, and it will be the main battlefield of the anti-Japanese war in the next 14 years.

The flames of war are raging, heroes are coming out in large numbers, and countless good sons and daughters of China have gone to the battlefield, how can such a scene be less than Qin Yuan.

In this way, on the night of November 18, 1931, Qin Yuan led the team to leave Qiqihar in the dark night and went into the distance.
