Chapter 52: The Volunteers' Predicament
Yamaguchi Osa was planning to leave the people for a few days to see the after-effects, and the British Consulate didn't know how to get the news, and the consul personally led the team to the Japanese headquarters ten minutes later. This one came with a document on the immunity of diplomats!
Yamaguchi Osa has been taught by Okamura Ninji many times, and he understands that these British can't be offended now. So, he put on a happy face when he got off the donkey, and not only agreed to the other party's contribution, but also sent a team of devil soldiers to escort these British diplomats back to the consulate.
This kidnapping is over, but its follow-up is far from over. The Kwantung Army suffered such a big loss, and even alarmed the emperor who was far away in Japan, can they give up?
After hearing that the British diplomat had been released safely, General Muto Nobuyoshi immediately dispatched troops to swear to defeat the volunteers entrenched in Wanghai Mountain! These people have allowed His Excellency the Commander to be reprimanded by the Emperor, how can General Muto let them go?
The Kwantung Army has hundreds of thousands of troops and dozens of first-class divisions, and Muto Nobuyoshi can make up a mighty and invincible army with a casual stroke of his fingers! The 10th Division, the 8th Division, plus two independent infantry brigades, and three puppet army divisions, gathered a total of 50,000 soldiers to besiege Wanghaishan in three ways!
There are three volunteers in Wanghaishan, which sounds quite large, but in fact, the three groups of people together are less than 20,000. 50,000 devils are coming all over the world, how to fight? In addition to relying on the familiar terrain of Wanghai Mountain and the long-term maneuvering of devils, the other way is to disperse and transfer. The meaning of dispersion and transfer is actually to announce the complete defeat of their Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army! Even the base area is occupied by devils, isn't it a failure?
The volunteers who were unwilling to fail launched a fierce battle with tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops at the foot of Wanghai Mountain! The devils have machine guns and cannons, and there are planes in the sky to cover. The Volunteers not only had backward weapons but also had a small number, but their geographical advantage alone could not cover up the gap in hardware between the two sides. In the confrontation between blood and fire, almost all of them are at a disadvantage.
The soldiers suffered many casualties, but the results achieved were minimal, and their morale fell to the extreme for a while. Due to the continuous fighting, Zhang Haitian, the commander of the Volunteer Army in Wanghaishan, seems to have slowed down his recovery from his injuries. One night, after eating, Zhang Haitian was napping on the recliner when he suddenly heard two people in the room whispering.
Because of his weak body, he was sleepy just after eating, so Zhang Haitian lay there without moving or making a sound. He didn't eavesdrop on purpose, or he overheard it when he closed his eyes and recuperated. The two people who spoke were orderly soldiers cleaning up the room, and they were idle and discussing recent current events while cleaning up.
What's in the spotlight lately? Of course, it's a matter of the battle between the Wanghaishan Volunteers and the devils. The Volunteers have failed in a row, and Wanghaishan has been controlled by the Japanese puppet army for nearly half of the range! Division commander Zhang Heqiu was tragically killed in a battle yesterday!
Ouch! Zhang Haitian felt that the world was spinning, and his mouth was stuffy, and he was blocked there without taking a breath, and he couldn't speak with a dry sound in his throat and eyes.
Those two orderlies are working and talking, always paying attention to Zhang Haitian, they are Zhang Haitian's orderlies, who do not pay attention to their superiors?
Hearing that the voice was wrong, the two of them ran to take a look, good fellow! I saw that Zhang Haitian's face was purple, and the green tendons on his head jumped so high! The mouth is crooked, the eyes are slanted, and the hara is flowing out. The two of them hurriedly helped wipe their hearts and beat their backs, and shouted loudly while rescuing!
Hearing the shouting, a large group of people rushed in with snoring outside. These people looked at Zhang Haitian's appearance and were also in a hurry, and they didn't know how to save the patient! Call the doctor! Among them, I don't know who came up with such a word. When he shouted, everyone remembered, oh, it turns out that there is a doctor on the mountain!
The doctor ran over with a roll, rolled his eyelids and checked Zhang Haitian's pulse, and then helped to lay the person flat, massaged his chest and arms, and took out a few golden needles to prick a few stitches. After a lot of rescue, Commander Zhang was able to relieve this breath! Before leaving, the doctor instructed to relax and not to take things to heart.
What about fighting with devils, can you win if you don't go to your heart? My brother was killed by a devil, can you relax your mind! The patient didn't take the doctor's advice to heart at all. Zhang Haitian said that he was sick and didn't care, but he would always hear some rumors about the battle situation. Knowing that the Daoyi Warriors were in a difficult situation, Zhang Haitian, the commander, was lying on the hospital bed and thinking of a way out in his head.
Of course, there is a way out at the moment, and that is to surrender the devil and become a traitor. Zhang Haitian is an iron-clad Northeast man, he doesn't want to be this traitor who makes people point at his backbone and scold his mother! I'd rather die than surrender to the devil and be a traitor!
He doesn't care if he dies alone, and it is really unacceptable to die with more than 10,000 brothers on the mountain. Whether it is the commander of the Volunteer Army or the owner of the cottage, he has the obligation and responsibility to find a way to live for his brothers, and find a way to live for not being a traitor!
At the moment, even if he withdraws from Wanghaishan with the team, it seems that it is difficult, and the devil's situation is not going to let go of his army easily! Zhang Haitian thought of looking for reinforcements!
The volunteers in the Northeast are not the only ones on Wanghai Mountain, the most famous are Ma Zhanshan, chairman of the Heilongjiang Provincial Government, Su Bingwen of Hailar, and Li Du of Jilin Province. Zhang Haitian knew Su Bingwen before, and he didn't stop writing for so long. When Su Bingwen was electrified as commander-in-chief of the Northeast People's Salvation Army in the 21st year of the Republic of China, Zhang Haitian also sent a telegram of congratulations.
Everyone is an anti-Japanese army in the northeast, and now that their own people's volunteers are in difficulty, it is not a shame to ask Commander Su of the People's National Salvation Army for support.
It can be said that asking Su Bingwen for help is Zhang Haitian's last hope. If this method didn't work, he would have no choice but to lead his troops to disperse out of Wanghaishan, retreat south across the Great Wall, and retreat to Guannai to rest.
Su Bingwen is in Hailar, far away from Wanghai Mountain! How to get there? Can Su Bingwen agree after he goes? How did he come to the rescue? These are all questions. Zhang Haitian is now sick and rushed to the hospital, anyway, it is best to bring the rescuers, and if he can't move, it will not be worse than now.
Just do it when you think of it, Zhang Haitian ordered Xiang Qingshan and Gai Zhonghua to be brought in, and the servants came together to discuss, this matter must be done as soon as possible! As for the question of who to send, the three commanders have an unprecedented unanimity, Hu Fei! That's it, Hu Fei! Judging from the few things he has done recently, this young man is very capable. People are clever and will come to trouble, anyway, sending him will definitely not mess things up!
Zhang Haitian and the three of them discussed the matter and decided it, and called Hu Fei over to convey the order. When Hu Fei heard this, he was also a little straight-eyed. There are so many generals on the mountain, how can they hand over all the difficult things to him? Is his role in this volunteer army really that great?
Lao Beifeng may also feel a little embarrassed, so he said to Hu Fei: If you have any requirements, just mention them, and I will promise you all if I can.
