013 Preparations for the Great War
The unconscious Zhumu Junichi was immediately carried by 4 people to Fan Xiaoyan's health team, and Feng Yi was a little unconvinced by Dongfang Yunming's order to treat Zhumu, and said, "Why is this guy still kept?" According to me, he was shot and he was counted, Lu Liangbiao is a Chinese, you saved him, but as a result, he still ran away, didn't he? This old devil is my daughter-in-law's great enemy, so why waste medicine on him? ”
Dongfang Yunming said with a smile: "Because he is still useful, and it is very useful, it depends on him whether so many of our brothers can survive." ”
"He? Why am I so disbelieving?! Feng Yi said.
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see! Pass on my order, and all troops will divide and surround the little devils in Chengde as quickly as possible, and fight quickly! Dongfang Yunming said and found a burden from the car that Junichi Takeki was riding, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. What did he find? Of course, it's the Zhumu brigade flag, this is a good thing, whether the number of the Zhumu brigade can be kept, it is Dongfang Yunming's final say.
It's already May 20th, the original history of the Great Wall War of Resistance was ceasefire on May 25th, and now the supreme commander of the Chinese side along the Great Wall, He Yingqin, should have negotiated with Muto Nobuyoshi many times, once the Great Wall direction is suspended, then the main force of the Kwantung Army will immediately withdraw from the front line, this time it is so easy to lay down Chengde is because the main combat unit of Junichi Takeki, two full wings and artillery brigades are all on the battlefield of the Great Wall, if it were not for the continuous ambush and robbery of the independent regiment in the last half a monthAs a result, a large number of military supplies and equipment in Chengde City were backlogged in the arsenal, and there were not even a few logistics troops, and more than 300 military police were sent by the Kwantung Army Headquarters to assist Junichi Takeki in protecting the arsenal built in Chengde, and the combat effectiveness was still much worse than that of the field troops.
If the main force of the Zhumu Brigade of more than 5,000 people is withdrawn from the front line at this time, then the independent regiment will be dangerous, both the weapons and equipment and the training level of the troops are far inferior to the Japanese army. Therefore, the best way is to use the flag of Junichi Takeki and his brigade to let the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Nationalist Government in Nanjing give their troops an official name, so that these brothers can be protected by the armistice agreement and calmly retreat into the Guannai, and he can also start to implement the strategic plan drawn up more than a month ago, and China is not the only enemy of Japan.
Junichi Takeki was indeed very smart, and when he heard the sound of submachine guns when the reconnaissance company of the independent regiment attacked, he immediately judged that the bolt-activated 38 rifle of the Kwantung Army would definitely not be able to resist in such an environment, and immediately ordered to retreat, but he did not expect to be clever but was mistaken by cleverness, thinking that the reconnaissance company came in from the south gate, and the south gate must be the rear of the other party's absolute defense, and it was safest to walk from there, but he did not expect to crash into the pocket arranged by Dongfang Yunming and become a prisoner of the Chinese.
As soon as the Japanese army slipped away, more than 800 puppet troops in the city immediately lost their temper, and a battalion was a feint attack on the west gate and the north gate, but as a result, the artillery company had 6 92-type infantry guns and 15 60 guns after 10 minutes of rapid fire, and without waiting for the charge, the puppet army at the west gate surrendered first, and then the puppet army at the north gate also surrendered. Du Yien, the commander of the puppet army, wanted to mix in the civilians and quietly go out of the city, but he was on Xu Yihang's blacklist, and more than a month ago, when Mochizuki Wuxue was killed, he had clearly announced that the next one in the world was Du Yien, so Du Yien had not slept for a day for more than a month, and not long after the fight started that night, he was still in a daze when he got up from the bed, and was enlightened by the sound of the death knell, and got out of bed and put on a coarse cloth dress and ran out of the house. But he never thought that he would be caught by Zhao Zhengwen, who was Cao Ying's subordinate in Han and had been promoted to battalion commander, and sent him to Xu Yihang.
But at this time, Xu Yihang had no interest in that Du Yien, it was not worth it to let such a soft bone of blood stain Ming Di's arrows, she and Xu Jinchuan and Xu Erhang were busy attacking the arsenal next to the summer resort, this is the purpose of the independent regiment's adventure to attack the city, and the attack here has to be 3 of their sisters and brothers, this is an arsenal, the words "strictly prohibit fireworks" on the wall are always very eye-catching, using a gun in such a dangerous environment is simply looking for death, you can only use a bow and arrow, Fortunately, the devils inside were also afraid of death and didn't dare to fire casually, and most of them had just woken up from their sleep and were transferred to protect General Takemu, so within a few minutes, there was silence in the arsenal.
The attack on Chengde took no more than one hour from the beginning of the fire to the end, and it took almost the entire night to clean up the battlefield, receive the prisoners of the puppet army, and count the casualties. At half past six in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the people of Chengde heard the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night, but no one dared to go out to check, and it was not until the morning after the curfew time stipulated by the Japanese did not come out until the morning, and they saw the volunteers cleaning the battlefield and patrolling the streets, and then they understood that the Japanese in Chengde had been exterminated.
Dongfang Yunming walked into the summer resort and saw the troops cleaning the battlefield, and asked Zhang He: "How is the battle?" Is the stat out? ”
Zhang He said happily: "The statistics have come out, the independent regiment lost more than 100 people in this battle, 34 were killed, and most of them were slightly wounded, mainly because the Japanese army's weapons were too penetrating and the lethality was insufficient. Judging from the seized things, we have made a fortune this time, and all the weapons and explosives accumulated in the arsenal in Chengde have fallen into our hands, this is a total list of seized weapons, you can take a look. ”
Dongfang Yunming took a full page and saw that it read: "7,522 Mauser Type 98 rifles, 690 ZB-26 light machine guns, 84 Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns, 477 Z-29 semi-automatic rifles, 352 Bergman MP18 submachine guns, 137 Mauser pistols and their imitations, 12 12.7mm imitation Deg Galev anti-aircraft machine guns, 4.8 million rounds of 7.92mm Mauser rifle ammunition, more than 50 million rounds of 9mm Ruger pistol ammunition, 40,000 rounds of 7.63mm Mauser pistol ammunition and more than 20,000 rounds of 12.7mm bullets; 2,391 Japanese-made Type 38 rifles, 109 Taisho Type 11 light machine guns, 25 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 900,000 rounds of Tomaka 6.5mm rifle cartridges, 220,000 rounds of 7.7mm machine gun cartridges, and 63 Type 38 rifles with additional scopes; 154 Japanese-made 90mm mortars, 126 Type 89 grenadiers, 74 Type 92 70mm infantry guns, 87 75mm mountain guns, 45 75mm field guns, 42 105mm howitzers, 8 150mm howitzers, about 40,000 90mm mortar shells, about 30,000 50mm grenadier cartridges, 4,200 70mm shells, 2,200 75mm shells, 3,100 105mm shells, and 425 150mm shells; 42 motorcycles, 149 trucks, and 18 tons of TNT explosives. ”
After reading this list, Dongfang Yunming was also a little surprised, a small Chengde would have so many weapons, especially so many heavy artillery and cars, so he looked at Zhang He with some disbelief, Zhang He saw Dongfang Yunming's expression and said, "What are you looking at me?" There is no moisture in this list, we have been attacking everywhere for more than a month, and the Japanese army's baggage has not been sent to the front line from Chengde, most of it is backlogged here, light weapons are easy to evade our attacks, and heavy weapons cannot be transported out at all, so so many artillery and cars are here. Hey, what about so many things? ”
Dongfang Yunming said: "All the guns and ammunition were taken away, mortars, infantry guns and mountain artillery were taken away, and heavy artillery was ...... It can only be blown up, but the shells can be kept, and the Japanese have to be repaired with these cannons before they are blown up. After all, the party's appeal is very strong, and Rongshi's reputation in Rehe is also very high. ”
"Hey, you really think of me as the head of logistics!" Zhang He said with a glare.
"No way, we are short of talents!" Dongfang Yunming said with a wicked smile.
At this time, Rong Shi walked in and said: "You just make him the head of logistics, how can you count me too!" ”
Behind Rong Shi were Suo Jie, Xu Yihang, Fan Xiaoyan, Zhao Zhengwen, Feng San, Feng Yi, Dongfang Yunming saw it and said, "Are they all here?" Hey, Brother Rong, why didn't you stutter when you saw Xu Yihang this time? ”
This question directly choked Rong Shi, he glared at Dongfang Yunming and said, "You don't care if I stutter!" ”
"Xiaoyan, how is Junichi Takeki?" Zhang He asked.
As soon as Fan Xiaoyan heard Junichi Takeki's name, she said angrily: "It's okay, I was knocked unconscious, and I have already woken you up, and now I am in the Easy Cafe, and the two people from the reconnaissance company are watching alone." I really don't know what to do with him? ”
After hearing Fan Xiaoyan's last words, Zhang He said: "Xiaoyan, preferential treatment of prisoners is the party's policy and the discipline of the army. ”
Xu Yihang was also upset with Fan Xiaoyan: "Preferential treatment of prisoners? Why haven't the Japanese devils seen them treat prisoners favorably, and they also slaughtered civilians, why should we treat such beasts preferentially? ”
Dongfang Yunming hurriedly said: "This is not a question of preferential treatment, Junichi Takeki is still useful to us, so I kept him, Political Commissar Zhang, and the little devils don't have any Geneva Convention, they have never respected this Convention, so they are not worthy of the protection of the Convention, and they should return the favor to the other in their own way, this should be our Chinese attitude towards them." ”
"What about those puppet soldiers? Also, how did Du Yien deal with it? Zhao Zhengwen asked.
Dongfang Yunming thought for a while and said: "Tell them that if they are willing to fight with us, we welcome them, and we will not stop those who want to go home, but if I see them as traitors next time, I will not be spared." Du Yien, he was on Xu Yihang's blacklist, you can do it yourself. ”
Zhao Zhengwen looked at Xu Yihang and asked, "Miss, do you remove your arms or legs?" ”
Xu Yihang said expressionlessly: "Give him one shot and it's over, there's no need to be so troublesome." By the way, Commander of the Eastern Regiment, is the wellhead tree planting dead? ”
"Oh, this guy has half of his head cut off by the fragments of the shell, and he is dying a miserable death! Now only Junichi Takeki, Lu Liangbiao and Tetsuto Takayoshi are left on your blacklist, Lu Liangbiao is gone, Takeki can't die for the time being, and Tetsuto Takayoshi is still on the battlefield of the Great Wall. Dongfang Yunming said.
Xu Yihang smiled and said: "The blacklist is not important, after more than a month, I also understand that this is not a personal feud in our family, and the overall situation should be the priority." ”
Dongfang Yunming nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk about the next operational arrangement, we occupied Chengde, the provincial capital of Rehe, which is equivalent to slapping the Japanese in the face, because Chengde is a transportation artery, and most of the armaments and materials in the three eastern provinces have to be transported to the front line through Chengde, so the Japanese will definitely not give up, Junichi Takeki has enough time to report the situation in Chengde to his superiors before retreating, although the main force of the Kwantung Army is all on the Great Wall, but there is news that the Nanjing government is preparing peace talks with the Japanese, once the two sides cease fire, We will face tens of thousands of elite field troops of the Japanese army, and even if it is a second-rate unit of the Japanese army, we can't resist all the attacks on Chengde, not to mention that there are still a large number of puppet troops, so we must hurry up and transport the arms away, all the troops are replenished with weapons and equipment and ammunition, 150 heavy artillery are all destroyed on the spot, 105 howitzers and 75mm field guns are all pulled to Chengde outside the city to arrange artillery positions, the first battalion and the third battalion set up blocking positions in the east and south respectively, but remember not to resist hard, mainly to consume the enemy's living forces, Once it could not hold it, it would immediately retreat to the surrounding mountains, and the artillery company could directly abandon those 105 howitzers, and the cavalry company would go to Cave No. 2 north of Xishan Village to bring back all the things inside. The 2nd Battalion and Zhao Zhengwen and your troops built all the streets of Chengde into fortifications, evacuated the people, and prepared for street fighting. The political commissar organized people to take all the cultural relics that could be moved in the summer resort to Baiyun Cave and hide them, and they must not be left to the Japanese. ”
Zhang He asked with some puzzlement: "Since we can't defeat the Japanese, why don't we all retreat outside the city to fight guerrillas, and prepare for street fighting?" Our troops never fought much street fighting. ”
"We are not used to street fighting, and the Japanese are even less accustomed to it, we still have hundreds of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, and the ammunition is also sufficient, and we can recover some disadvantages in terms of equipment, and the Japanese army's Type 38 rifles are too long, the rate of fire is too slow, and heavy weapons cannot be used in street fighting, and the Japanese army will not have much advantage." Dongfang Yunming said.
"Okay, let's go get ready now!" Zhang He and Rong Shi said.
As soon as the battle arrangements were made, Xu Yihang, Rong Shi and Zhang He all left to make their own arrangements, Gao Wenfeng walked over and handed Dongfang Yunming a piece of paper, Dongfang Yunming took it and looked at it, his face changed suddenly, and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”
"I don't know who deliberately put it on Junichi Takeki's desk." Gao Wenfeng said.
"Deliberately?!"
"Yes, all the other documents have been destroyed, except for this one telegram that is left intact on the table."
Dongfang Yunming thought for a while and said, "It can be placed on Junichi Zhumu's table so obviously, except for Zhumu himself, I'm afraid no one can do it, it seems that we should go and meet this opponent." ”
This is the telegram that Junichi Takeki put on his desk before retreating, and the content of the telegram was that the Japanese military top brass had adopted the "Ju" special attack operation plan and was preparing to use bacteriological weapons against the anti-Japanese volunteers in Rehe and Chahar. As soon as Dongfang Yunming saw the content of the telegram, he immediately understood that the matter was getting bigger, but he didn't understand how Junichi Takeki, as a Japanese soldier and a general, could leak such confidential information, whether this was a trap or a real thing, and if this was really what he deliberately leaked, what was he for. It seems that the answer to all this can only be figured out by asking Junichi Takeki in person, so Dongfang Yunming immediately rushed to the Easy Cafe to see Junichi Takeki.
