Chapter 123: Evacuation

In this positional battle in Harbin, the 13th Brigade of the 7th Division of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army crippled a brigade of the puppet army in only one battle, which not only shocked the Japanese 12th Division, but also shocked the friendly troops. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Northern Anti-Japanese Army really lived up to its reputation, and this battle was fought neatly and neatly, and it never dragged mud and water, and the battle was decided.

Li Du, Li Yi and others were still nervously observing, worried that the Japanese army would immediately counterattack, and only Feng Zhanhai waited carelessly for the results of the investigation.

Not long after, the reconnaissance reported: "Report to the division commander, except for the monitoring post, all the Japanese troops have been evacuated." ”

Li Du and Zhao Yi looked at each other, this is the end of the fight?

This battle is only one round, how can the Japanese be willing to lose, withdraw their troops and stop fighting, it is not in line with the norm.

Unlike Li Du, Li Yi and others, in Feng Zhanhai's opinion, this is normal, and he seems to have expected this result.

"The 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment was ordered to stay in position to monitor the Japanese troops, and the rest of the troops were withdrawn from their positions. Two Brigadier Commanders, it's time for us to go back and rest, the war is over. Feng Zhanhai left only one battalion of troops to monitor the Japanese army, and beckoned Zhao Lidu and others to return to the headquarters.

Li Du was a little strange and asked: "Lao Feng, is it a little too little to leave such an army, aren't you afraid of a sneak attack by little devils?" ”

Feng Zhanhai smiled and said: "Hehe, this battle is for the little devils, if the 12th Division wants to be the fifth destroyed division, then let them attack, give him the courage to take the initiative to attack."

The Northern Anti-Japanese Army wiped out four Japanese divisions in a row, which had already left a magic barrier in the Japanese army, and there were no three or two divisions and regiments that had no courage to fight head-on.

You should note that the Japanese army did not participate in the offensive this time, but sent a puppet army to act as cannon fodder.

What does this mean?

It shows that the little devil did not dare to personally fight the Northern Anti-Japanese Army and let the puppet army attack, just to test it to prove that the Northern Anti-Japanese Army was indeed defending on the position.

There is probably another reason, that is, Lieutenant General Kihara Kiyoshi, the commander of the 12th Division of the Kwantung Army, is a little unconvinced. Now, hehe, he's got it. ”

Although Feng Zhanhai said with great confidence, the Northern Anti-Japanese Army is very capable of fighting, and the past combat examples are very brilliant, but Li Du and Li Yi have only heard about it and have not experienced it personally, so they are still a little uneasy.

Zhao Yi said: "If you don't leave my brigade here, just in case, the strength of a battalion is really unreassuring." ”

"Everyone, let's hurry up and prepare for the evacuation, this is the most important thing at the moment. The 13th Brigade will fully assume the task of taking up the task of the post-break period. Here, you can rest assured, if the little devil really dares to act rashly, then resolutely eat this Japanese army.

Commander Feng had already estimated that in the future, it would be almost impossible for the Japanese army to use the strength of a single division to fight against the northern anti-Japanese army, unless their reinforcements came up, in that case, the 12th Division of the Kwantung Army would have a relatively large move.

I estimate that the rest of the Japanese divisions have already moved towards this side, leaving little time for us to evacuate. ”

Hearing this, Li Du and Zhao Yi no longer insisted, it seems that the commander-in-chief of Fengtian has already made arrangements.

Back at the headquarters, the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, as well as the newly joined army on Halbin's side, were ready to evacuate Halbin.

The problem is that the retreat of the army is generally unable to defeat the enemy, and it is a last resort to retreat.

Now, the anti-Japanese army in the north is the victorious side, and it is still a little difficult for everyone to accept that they have to retreat.

Xing Zhanqing, commander of the 26th Brigade, said: "Vice Chairman Feng, it is too cheap to withdraw like this, little Japan, is our army fighting a battle of encirclement and annihilation first, and when the Japanese army of the 12th Division is eliminated, it is not too late for the army to leave?" ”

Xing Zhanqing also heard Li Du talk about how fierce the firepower of the 13th Brigade was, and the weapons and equipment were much stronger than the Japanese, and the might of that battle was simply shocking.

Feng Yong shook his head and said: "Commander Feng said that Harbin's place is a chicken rib for the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, at least the current situation, if you don't want to give up this place, you must fight with the Japanese army for control of this place, and the Northern Anti-Japanese Army will definitely pay a huge price for it."

The elimination of a 12th division of the Japanese army is really nothing for the northern anti-Japanese army.

However, the current conditions are not ripe, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army will soon follow, and it is better to retreat early than later.

If a war starts here and now, our army will definitely be pinned down here, not to mention whether the 12th Division can be wiped out, it is very likely that it will be pinned down by the Japanese army here, and it will be difficult to get out, and the harm will outweigh the benefits.

At present, the strategy of the anti-Japanese army in the north has entered the defensive stage, and if the war situation is favorable to our army, it will fight, and if it is not unfavorable to our army, it will carry out a strategic retreat. Whether to fight or not to fight is entirely up to our army, and we must firmly grasp the initiative and try to avoid falling into a passive situation.

I can't guess Commander Feng's thoughts, he must have his plans to give up Harbin. Past experience tells us that Feng Commander Tianzong is a genius who is not missing, and we can only trust him. ”

, even Feng Yong admires Feng Tian so much, it seems that this Feng Commander really has two brushes.

These brigade commanders had never seen Feng Tian, and they could only learn about the situation of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army from the mouths of Feng Yong and Feng Zhanhai.

In fact, if these commanders calm down and think about Halbin's position, they are indeed alone, and it is indeed not a good idea for the Northern Anti-Japanese Army and the Japanese army to fight a decisive battle here.

The major brigade commanders sighed, although they were extremely reluctant to give up Harbin in their hearts, but what Feng Yong and Feng Zhanhai said made sense.

Forget it, hurry up and arrange the evacuation, the time is tight enough, and the evacuation of Harbin must be completed before the Japanese reinforcements come up.

Harbin's evacuation is to imitate Mukden, all the property, factories and equipment of the city will definitely be looted, the railway equipment, locomotives and all means of transportation will be taken away, and then the railroad tracks will also be dismantled and transported away, and it will definitely not be left to the use of the little devils.

As for the residents, they will mobilize as much as possible, and those who resolutely do not want to leave will not force others to go.

This is not Mukden, there are a large number of old Maozi living here in Harbin, and the Northern Anti-Japanese Army will not care about them.

Houses in the city should be burned as much as possible, and those that could not be burned should be demolished, and if they could not be burned, explosives should be destroyed.

So, everywhere in Harbin you can see people demolishing houses, the whole city is full of smoke, it is not easy to build houses, it seems to be easier to demolish.

Everything that should be demolished has been demolished, and the people who should have left have also left, leaving a dilapidated city behind the northern anti-Japanese army.

Harbin, a pretty good city, is now in a dilapidated state, and its scale has suddenly become smaller, not much bigger than a small town. Only the panicked old Maozi remained here.

The Russians were barbaric enough, but they had never seen such a wanton destruction of a city. 、

When did the always docile Chinese become so fierce, the world is changing too fast, and some can't understand it.

The day after the withdrawal of the northern anti-Japanese army, the Japanese troops who rushed to hear the news cautiously advanced, and when they looked around, the whole city of Nima and Harbin was dilapidated, with construction debris everywhere and burning houses still smoking.

This place has become a ruin, a wreck.

The railroad is gone, the factories are gone, and most of the houses are destroyed, except for those that are still inhabited, and only a few houses remain.

The commander of Kihara's Qing Division still didn't believe that the Northern Anti-Japanese Army had withdrawn, after all, the only battle, their Northern Anti-Japanese Army was the victor, since they won the battle, why did they withdraw?

Lieutenant General Kihara Kiyoshi smelled of conspiracy, why did most of the houses be demolished, and some houses were left in the city? Well, these houses can almost accommodate the next wing of Japanese troops.

Lieutenant General Kihara Kiyoshi immediately thought of the fate of the 20th Division, and if the Northern Anti-Japanese Army had no rear hand, he would not believe it.

The northern resistance forces are greatly damaged, and the commander of this division will never be fooled!

"Order: All the troops are stationed in the field, and no one is allowed to enter the house, this is a military order, and those who disobey the order will work to the death."

"Hey, the 12th Division is stationed in the field and is never allowed to enter the houses in the city."

When the military order was issued, the Japanese troops did not dare to approach the remaining houses, so they could only live in the open air.

The 20th and 14th Divisions had learned a profound lesson, and for this matter, even the Japanese military headquarters issued an order that the Japanese troops were not allowed to live in any house left behind by the anti-Japanese army in the north.

What is it called?

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope.

The Japanese army was completely frightened by the calculation of sealing the sky, and they were not fooled when they were killed.

No one is stupid, including the soldiers, almost all the Japanese soldiers know the fate of the 14th and 20th Divisions, and now you just let him live in the house, probably no one wants to.

What is the bird of the frightened bow, the 12th Division is also.

However, seeing the old Maozi in the city living comfortably in the house, these Japanese soldiers felt very uncomfortable.

Paralyzed, we are cold outside, and you hairs are warm in the house, how can it be.

On the same day, several Japanese soldiers had entanglements with Lao Maozi, and one of them was beaten to death by Japanese soldiers.

In this regard, the head of Kihara Qingshi did not pursue it too much.

The next day, the incident continued to expand, with dozens of violent incidents that killed three people, injured dozens of others, and even killed several old hairy women.

The atrocities of the Japanese army aroused strong resentment in the Soviet Union, and a note was sent to the Japanese government through diplomatic channels in the hope of stopping the atrocities of the army.

Because of this incident, the Soviet Union had some dissatisfaction with Japan.

In fact, the 12th Division of the Japanese Army purely took this opportunity to test the bottom line of the Soviet Union, and did not pay much attention to their protests. If you want to reduce friction, it's actually very simple, go back to your Siberia, why stay here?

The Japanese and Lao Maozi have a feud, especially when it comes to the interests of the Kanto region. (To be continued.) )
