Chapter 1396 catches people's hearts

This is an era of extreme poverty in resources and entertainment, although Bei'an is called a transportation hub, but in the end it is only a county town with a population of less than 50,000, after ten o'clock in the evening, the city and outside the city have been pitch black, only the four city gates of the east, west, north and south, the station of the devil and the railway station outside the south gate have lights coming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Major General Morita Masahomi, commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, frowned and looked at the telephone in front of him in a daze.

In the past, Bei'an could easily contact any part of Manchuria through the telephone lines laid next to the railway, but soon after the occupation of Aihui by the Chinese army, Bei'an's external communication links were inexplicably interrupted, and no matter how many people were sent to repair the telephone lines, it was ineffective.

At the beginning, all the soldiers of the brigade were driven into the trenches, light and dark bunkers and city walls outside the city for strict defense, but after many days of tossing and turning, there was still no Chinese army attacking the city, and the people below began to complain, and for another two days, even the two captains of the 25th and 26th wings, who had always been strong-willed, were gone, so at 4 o'clock this afternoon, Morita Masafumi had to withdraw his troops to the city for rest, and then continued to send signal troops to overhaul the telephone line.

However, several hours passed, and until now, the telephone still could not get in touch with the outside world, and reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters by telegram, and the news received was that the main force was encircling and suppressing the base areas of the Chinese guerrillas -- the Guowei Mountain and Lao Yeling areas east of the Mudanjiang River, and once a breakthrough was formed, they would take advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit, and the Sanjiang Plain, on which the Chinese army had obtained food and materials and depended for its survival, would once again return to the control of the empire, and then deal a devastating blow to the Chinese guerrillas who had wandered to various places.

Major General Morita Masatom knew that this was an action plan formulated by the Kwantung Army Headquarters to break through one by one by one, and its central idea was to concentrate on the use of troops along the way, and to inflict a devastating blow on the main enemy with a thunderous momentum, so as to eat the opponent in one fell swoop, instead of launching an all-out attack regardless of the main and secondary priorities, resulting in heavy thunder and small raindrops, but giving the opponent a chance to break through one by one.

Strategically, this was undoubtedly a wise move, but it was a painful ordeal for the self-defense of Bei'an City. Although his mixed brigade group seems to have two wings, in fact, the strength has long been exhausted, and now the total number of troops is less than 3,000, plus the more than 5,000 people of the puppet Manchu army who have little combat power, it is really difficult to deal with the main force of the Chinese guerrillas who can conquer Aihui City, which has a strong city defense, in only one day.

Although this is a bit discouraged, the grim reality tells Morita Masahomi that he is not facing an ordinary guerrilla army, but a powerful army armed with light and heavy equipment by the Soviet Russian Far East Red Army, which can be seen from the annihilation of all the fighters from Harbin to Aihui for reinforcements, and the opponent is equipped with a large number of air defense weapons, and its strength is unfathomable.

Just when Major General Morita Masahomi was suffering from gains and losses, a dense artillery bombardment suddenly sounded from the north of the city, which was the familiar sound of the Imperial 75mm mountain artillery.

Morita Masatom was surprised, and hurriedly grabbed the phone - although it was said that Bei'an could not communicate with the outside world, there was no problem with the internal communication in the county, listening to the outside voice, it should be the main force of the Chinese guerrillas attacking the city, he wanted to mobilize troops, quickly assemble, and give the Chinese people a head-on attack, but to his disappointment, there was no sound in the microphone.

The sensitivity of the soldier made Morita Masatomi immediately grab his pistol and rush outside the command department, but before he could rush to the door, the house was hit by a rapid mortar shell.

Morita Masahomi didn't figure out until he died, what happened to him, why was he in the county town, under enemy mortars?

The death of the Japanese commander did not stop the artillery fire, and after more than 10 minutes of shelling, the Japanese headquarters set up in the Bei'an County Government soon became a ruined wall with thick gunpowder smoke.

It turned out that taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army's disarmament, the newly formed special brigade of the Fifth Division of the Rescue Army entered the county seat and quietly lurked. When night fell, all the units of the Japanese army, which had been exhausted for several days, could not wait to lie down and sleep, and the Japanese soldiers who were standing guard on the city tower had already been seriously overdrawn in spirit, and they slept on the city wall one by one.

Soon, the city gate opened, and the large troops of the Fifth Division entered Bei'an City, quickly occupied the commanding heights outside the various military camps, set up mortars, 75mm mountain guns, and field guns, and opened fire on the devil's barracks.

After the sleeping devils were bombed, they got up from the bed one after another, picked up the guns from the gun racks, and rushed out like headless flies, and they were greeted by the dense fall of shells and the rain of bullets sprayed by light and heavy machine guns, and what made people feel even more terrifying was that there were even tanks that were rampage, wantonly harvesting the lives of the ghost soldiers.

This battle was fought very easily, because the Japanese troops in Bei'an City did not even have time to use artillery and light and heavy machine guns, they were completely annihilated, and the Fifth Division occupied the Japanese transportation town of Bei'an at a very small price, captured a large number of Japanese puppet soldiers, and captured countless guns, ammunition, food and supplies.

In the early morning of the next day, there was just a glimmer of light in the sky, and after listening to the gunshots in the middle of the night, the people who walked out of their homes trembling saw that the rescuers were cleaning the streets, all with smiles on their faces, and amiable, so they had the courage to come forward to ask, when they heard that the county was successfully recovered by the squadron, the people of all ethnic groups who were bullied by the invaders were boiling, and the city was full of jubilant crowds, and the Bei'an people who were almost out of breath were oppressed by the devils' rampant conquest, and even set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Seeing that the army in front of him was kind to people, he would answer all questions, and took the initiative to ask if there was anything that needed help, a lonely old lady tried to ask the big soldier brother to help him repair the leaky house, who knew that the big soldier brother actually agreed to come down happily, and soon a squad of soldiers came to the door of the old lady's house, they took the grass, took the ladder, carefully climbed up to the roof, and began to tinker with the grass, and it took more than an hour to finish.

Seeing the soldiers sweating profusely and leaving, they didn't even drink hot water, the old lady was grateful and ashamed, and said good things about the soldier brother when she touched people, and it didn't take long for the people in the whole county to know that this group of officers and soldiers was the people's own team, in the history of Bei'an, such a team that loved the people like a son had never been, so they took the initiative to help the troops carry materials, strengthen the city fortifications, and send water and food to the soldiers There was an endless stream of people.

The so-called military-civilian joint construction and care are mutual, and the troops soon organized the distribution of food, publicized the idea of the War of Resistance, and mobilized the masses to join the army and fight devils.

However, the people of Bei'an City do not know that what remained in Bei'an at this time is only a supplementary regiment under the Fifth Division, and the main force did not pause after capturing Bei'an, and immediately divided the troops into two routes, one to the west along the railway to attack the rich county, and the other to the south to Suihua, and strive to take a few more cities at the southern foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains before the Kwantung Army reacted, and expand the scale of the base area.

In the early hours of the morning, urgent information came from the fourth hall that a large number of *** fighters were stationed at Shenyang Airport, and at noon tomorrow at the latest, the Japanese troops in Harbin would receive strong support from the air force. The Fourth and Seventh Divisions, which had penetrated deep into the Jilin and Liaoning regions, as well as the various units of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, received an order that looked very absurd -- to plunder the people in the plains around the troops on a large scale, to bring them to the Far East of Soviet Russia, to divide the fields and distribute seeds and labor tools, and that the ownership of the land owned by each household would be protected by the Far Eastern Government, and that the newly reclaimed land would also belong to the reclaimers.

After the high-level rescue and the command of the Far Eastern Military District of Soviet Russia discussed through the radio, a period of dozens of miles of no-man's land will be created in the plain area between the rescue and anti-Japanese alliance departments and the Japanese army, and as long as the Sino-Soviet border is firmly controlled by the dangerous terrain and easy to defend and difficult to attack, there will be no problems in logistical support, and then make full use of the advantages of mountain warfare to drag the Japanese army around the mountains and hills in the northeast as much as possible.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more severe, Hu Jiyang quickly decided to take down the entire mountainous area in the northern part of Heilongjiang Province first, and then rely on the small Xing'an Mountains and the Great Xing'an Mountains to defend. The larger the territory, the wider the strategic depth, and the more people under its jurisdiction, the better the troops will be replenished with supplies and soldiers. On the contrary, if the common people are all relocated, then the troops will only have to rely on the Soviet and Russian sides to provide assistance in the future, Hu Jiyang always feels that this will be very dangerous, and it feels uncomfortable to be stuck in the neck.

The Sixth Division seemed to have the same mind as the Fifth Division, and the division commander, Colonel He Yifei, took the initiative to contact the Fifth Division and asked for help in attacking Suihua City. Because Suihua City is well defended and is the most important fortress of the Japanese army in the northern area of Harbin, Hu Jiyang, who knows what is at stake, agreed without hesitation, and this time the Fifth Division will transfer troops to the south, which is also the most elite mechanized unit of the Fifth Division, and strive to quickly sweep away the towns north of Suihua before dawn, and then the troops will rest on the spot, wait for night to fall, and take Suihua together with the Sixth Division.

By 8 o'clock on the morning of the 19th, Keshan and Yi'an counties west of Bei'an and Hailun counties south of Bei'an had all fallen into the hands of the Fifth Division.

......

"The big knife cut off the heads of the devils, the brothers of the armed forces of the whole country, the day of the War of Resistance has come, the day of the War of Resistance has come. There are anti-Japanese rescuers in front, and there are people all over the country in the back, and we are among the people who are brave enough to move forward, see the enemy, destroy him, destroy him, rush! The big knife slashed at the heads of the devils, kill! Hey! ”

In Bei'an County, the red flag was displayed, and the staff of the Ministry of Science and Technology laid the line overnight, all over the center of the county and the four corners of the city wall in the loudspeakers, singing high-pitched.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in accordance with the anti-Japanese rescue action plan, the provisional government of Bei'an County was formally established. Government officials are temporarily served by political workers in the rescue system, and once the members of the government and parliament are elected in accordance with the principle of the three-three system, the provisional government will transfer power to the anti-Japanese government.

After overnight surprise interrogations, some of the most heinous criminals in the former puppet government, who were burdened with blood debts, were screened out, and together with 29 people who were convicted of "Chinese traitors," as well as four bullying landlords and local tyrants and inferior gentry who were extremely angry by the people in the vicinity of Bei'an City, they were openly arrested. The reason why it is not called "traitor" here is because there are many ethnic minorities in Heilongjiang, and now they can only use the framework of the Chinese nation to call the people of all ethnic groups. Naturally, the degree of recognition is greatly reduced.

In order to quickly gain a foothold in Bei'an, and at the same time firmly bind themselves and the local people to everything, the officers and soldiers of the *** department actively mobilized the masses to expose the crimes of these people. At first, no one dared to stand up for the simple people, but when they saw that the provisional government was really in charge of them, especially when they saw the burning of land deeds, land deeds, debts, etc., gradually some people began to complain to the government, and finally more and more people became more and more angry. Seeing that the time was basically ripe, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Bei'an Provisional Government held a public trial and public judgment meeting in the county seat.

Around the venue, posted a large pictorial of the Japanese army printed by the Syrian government through the freighter in Northeast China, North China burned and plundered, in order to prevent the cold field, the Ministry also specially arranged some soldiers to mix in the crowd, fan the flames, and guide the direction of the wind.

The first batch to be escorted to the stage were more than 100 devils captured last night, as well as *** businessmen in the city, these guys were tied behind their backs and lined up facing the people. The devil was unruly, his eyes were fierce, and he stared at the people in the audience viciously, looking like "what can I do".

"Fathers and fellow villagers!"

From the loudspeakers towering on both sides of the high platform, the strong voice of Major Liu Yicheng, deputy director of the Fifth Division, the county magistrate of the provisional government, was heard.

"We are the anti-Japanese salvation team, the people's own team, the most important charter of our team, is to wholeheartedly for the people, resist Japan and kill the enemy to protect the country and defend the country. No matter what profession you have, what faith you have, or what family background you have, as long as you are not willing to be a slave to the country and are interested in resisting Japan and killing the enemy, we welcome you to join our team. ”

Under the leadership of the pre-arranged childcare of the *** department, there was warm applause from the crowd.

Major Liu Yicheng paused, then suddenly pointed at those devils and asked, "Folks, do you know what they are?" ”

"*** devil!"

People can't help but answer.

"yes, fucking devils! Heartless devil! These bastards were supposed to stay on a few desert islands, but they couldn't see us Chinese living a rich life, and they ran to our land to spread wild. As early as the First Sino-Japanese War, they occupied our Korean Peninsula, Taiwan Island and Ryukyu Island, and in 918, they occupied our three eastern provinces and occupied Bei'an City, where our ancestors had lived for generations. They burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, and they took pleasure in killing and ruining women when they had nothing to do on weekdays, and owed a lot of blood debts. Let's take a look at the pictorials around us, it's all a good thing done by devils. ”

"Kill them!"

"Kill these brutes!"

There was a roar of anger from the crowd, and gradually the sound became louder and louder, and the devil's expression gradually became panicked.

"Folks! They're brutes, no, they're not even as good as brutes. Today we caught them, and some people say that they are captives, and they should be treated well, not killed! Can we say yes? ”

"No!"

There was an earth-shattering roar from the crowd.

"That's right! We resolutely refuse! In our military regulations for resisting Japan and saving ***, there is indeed a clause that prisoners of war are not allowed, but this provision does not apply to these things that are not even as good as animals! Today, I will make the decision and kill these little devils in front of everyone, so as to comfort the souls of the innocent and tragic people of the Northeast in the sky! ”

In the eyes of all the *** people on the stage, there was a look of fear and despair, but soon some of them took the lead in singing "Jun Zhidai" loudly, and those *** people raised their heads together and sang loudly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Liu Yicheng stopped the soldiers who wanted to step forward to stop him, turned his head into the microphone and said: "Folks, listen, the little devil is singing this song, invading our China and killing our compatriots. Until now, they have not repented until the end of their deaths, and they still fantasize about oppressing us for generations, can we agree? ”

The crowd below heard *** people sing their favorite song on weekdays again, and they didn't know what it meant, but after listening to the soldier's translation and Liu Yicheng's explanation, they were immediately angry.

As Liu Yicheng announced that he would hand over these devils to the people of Bei'an to take revenge, tens of thousands of people rushed up, you grabbed me, pulled the devils down the high platform, punched and kicked wildly, and soon one by one the devils were completely skinned, and some of the devils who were very angry with the people were caught by the five big men in the Northeast who were five big and three thick, and the limbs and heads were caught, and there was a five-horse corpse, and the red, green, and green intestines and stomachs flowed all over the place.

Seeing that it was almost over, the law enforcement team stepped forward, checked their bodies one by one, and cut off all the heads of these devils, so that according to the customs of *** people, their souls could never return to their Amaterasu.

The anger of the people was vented, and there were earth-shattering cheers.

Liu Yicheng was very satisfied with this scene. The reason why Hu Jiyang confessed before setting off to kill the devil who was a prisoner of war was because he had lost the initiative in the Northeast Battlefield, and the original kind of waste utilization, the devil's practice of being a labor force no longer worked, and the military department had already made a decision that mines such as Jixi, Shuangyashan, and Hegang would be blown up before the arrival of the Japanese army. Rather than keeping these devils to consume food in vain, it is better to quickly gain the approval of the people through a public trial.

There is also a sinister intention in the middle, that is, to let the hands of the Bei'an people be stained with the blood of the *** people, if the Japanese army counterattacks in the future, then the people will definitely worry about the retaliation of the *** people, and then it will be much easier to mobilize the people to transfer.

The ensuing trial went unusually well, and people were often even less able to forgive the betrayal of those around them. For those traitors and bullies, people came to the high platform one after another, accusing them of their crimes into the microphone, and the following slogans came one after another, and people were indignant. For these scum, the provisional government adopted a more civilized method, all of them were pulled out and shot, and the explanation of the acting county magistrate Liu Yicheng was that although they were scum, they were still human beings after all, so let's leave a whole corpse!

The righteousness of saving *** quickly won people's recognition.

The public trial conference not only made the rescue *** quickly won the approval of the people of all ethnic groups in Bei'an, and quietly tied the Bei'an people to their chariots, but also used this to deter a large number of captured puppet soldiers who committed minor crimes, and they asked to join the rescue and wash away their shame in the future battle. With little to spare, the Fifth Division added more than 3,000 troops out of thin air, and the harvest of this public trial meeting greatly exceeded the expectations of the officers and men of the Fifth Division.

At the same time, similar dramas continued to be staged in the newly occupied counties of the rescue, which made the rescue of the reputation of the emperor agitated, and the Chinese traitors and the Japanese puppet army were terrified.
