Xiaolu and Zhao Shangzhi led a meeting with representatives from all walks of life in Harbin to publicize the anti-Japanese proposition and calm the people's hearts. In the afternoon, the two held another press conference.

Many international journalists are not journalists, but official and semi-official representatives based in Harbin. Since there was a press conference, I came to participate as a reporter and wrote to get some information.

This time, Xiaolu and Zhao Shangzhi announced a large number of Japanese military crimes, and also found two anti-United Nations fighters who were used to conduct bacteriological experiments to complain about the atrocities of the Japanese.

Xiao Lu almost regarded the press conference as a press conference, and after the two people finished complaining, Xiao Lu asked directly: "Do you know that in the Northeast, there are any major events happening in the past two days?" ”

A British journalist said: "It is you who occupy Harbin. ”

Xiaolu said: "This is not a big event at all. When something big happens, the reporters don't know it. I can tell you that right now, at the junction of the Soviet Union in China, in the Hunchun region, near the mouth of the Tumen River, the great Soviet army is engaged in a large-scale battle with the Japanese army. We can call it the Battle of Zhanggufeng. ”

An American journalist said: "Is there a report that it is the border of Manchuria, the USSR and North Korea? ”

Xiaolu: "Because a few months ago, the king of Korea, together with the Japanese, assigned a border area to China, so this area is the border area between China and the Soviet Union. ”

A French journalist said, "Can you tell us about this battle?" ”

Xiaolu: "The two sides of the war are the troops of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District and the Japanese troops in Korea. The Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast region was on high alert because it wanted to increase its troops in the area. In fact, the conflict began in the spring of this year, and in May, the Japanese army sent people to build fortifications, stayed for more than 20 days, and then retreated. In mid-July, a Japanese spy Matsushima was killed illegally crossing the border, and the conflict intensified. The day before yesterday, the Japanese launched an artillery bombardment, and the battle began. To this day, the campaign continues. ”

The British journalist said: "Are you cooperating with the Soviet troops? Or did you accept the orders of the USSR?"

Xiaolu: "We have not and will not accept any orders. We only accept orders from Yan'an and Wuhan. We didn't cooperate, we just saw an opportunity to launch a campaign. ”

The French journalist said: "How long do you analyze how long this battle will last? ”

Xiaolu: "It's hard to say. From late July to early August, it is the rainy season in the region. Heavy rain was not conducive to the engagement. This is a climatic factor. Since Japan was engaged in large-scale warfare in the hinterland of China, the Japanese were reluctant to expand the war. We occupied Harbin, and the Kwantung Army could not participate in the campaign, which was the third. The Soviet Union's strategic focus on Europe and its reluctance to expand the war were fourth. ”

Two hours after the news conference, the Battle of Zhang Gufeng spread all over the world along the airwaves.

In the afternoon, a thousand fighters came to several universities, loaded a large number of books into cars and transported them away. Harbin Institute of Technology is preparing to take away a large number of books, including books on civil engineering, architecture, electrical, applied chemistry and mining and metallurgy.

By noon, tens of thousands of Japanese prisoners had been emptied of dozens of trains. The train station, which was busy day and night, was suddenly quiet.

According to intelligence, a large number of Japanese troops rushed to Harbin from three directions: Mudanjiang, Qiqihar, and Xinjing, because the railway was bombed in several places, so the progress was slow. However, the Japanese sappers were very good and quickly repaired.

There is also a Japanese army marching in. Japanese reinforcements in Bei'an were the slowest. The railway was blown up in more than 30 places, and one bridge was blown up. I'm afraid that the Bei'an reinforcements will not be able to come in the short term.

It is estimated that the vanguard of the Japanese army from Qiqihar will arrive in Harbin tomorrow.

On August 3, the Japanese army and the puppet army had reached the outskirts of Harbin. Xiaolu and Zhao Shangzhi inspect the fortifications.

Throughout the day, there were about ten cars, each with about a dozen fighters on board, going around all the streets of Harbin. In the morning, the citizens did not know what was happening and did not dare to come out. Soon, everyone knew that it was okay and went out normally.

After a dozen cars turned around all morning, many people already recognized the car, and even knew the people in the car.

The shrewd person immediately guessed that this was a ploy. There are people who love drama and literature, and they have speculated that this is Commander Zhao's empty city plan. Some people argue that this is Commander Lu's empty city plan, not Commander Zhao's empty city plan.

At noon, the car crossed the river and went to Jiangbei.

In the afternoon, the puppet army occupied the bungalow, and in the evening, the Japanese troops on the Western Front arrived in the town of Qunli.

Harbin began to calm down.

On August 4, the Japanese army attacked the city of Harbin and reoccupied the major institutions. The anti-union and the advance team have been evacuated and disappeared.

The Japanese soldiers, who entered the Japanese headquarters, found a letter on the large table of the Japanese commander. The letter was very simple, telling the Japanese army: We have captured a large number of Japanese spies in Harbin, and we have also captured a large number of Japanese prisoners of war, and we have scattered these spy prisoners of war everywhere, please do not send planes to bomb them.

The Kwantung Army Command knew that it was the same person who caused trouble in Harbin this time and the same person who caused trouble in Beiping last time. Although Zhao Shangzhi was very eye-catching in the whole incident this time, the Japanese army's spy department and intelligence analysis department focused on another person, Lu Xiaoming.

They knew that last time, Lu Xiaoming swaggered through the city alone in Beiping, attracting a large number of troops to pounce on the empty city of Beiping, this time, this person would do the same thing, but the Kwantung Army Headquarters still sent a large number of troops to defend Harbin. This is a last resort.

The reason is simple, because they don't know if this person is doing anything in Harbin, because this person is difficult to analyze and even more difficult to predict.

Another reason is that several powerful troops have grown in Manchuria, all of which are opponents of the Kwantung Army. The opponents of the Kwantung Army changed from one to several Soviet troops.

The Kwantung Army dispatched reconnaissance planes, focusing on the line from Harbin to Suihua, Qing'an, and Tieli. The two precious reconnaissance planes flew many sorties, and as long as the weather was good, they were dispatched to carry out flight reconnaissance in the most important areas around Harbin. There was no way, all the spy agents in this area disappeared.

Although it rained a lot in the past two days, the planes still detected the results and found a large number of troops moving in the Tieli area. These troops were apparently coming from Harbin, and they were walking along the mountain road into Yichun.

On the afternoon of 4 August, half an hour before the Japanese occupied the pier and the iron bridge, five small gunboats left the pier and headed quickly downstream.

Xiao Lu and Zhao Shangzhi are on the third ship.

In order to buy time for the troops transporting supplies, the two stayed in Harbin for an extra day.

In the morning, a young man came to the headquarters and found them, saying that he was the younger brother of Hou Xiaogu of the harmonica club, named Hou Xiaowen. His brother was executed last September. His family was ruined because of this, and he finally waited until today, and he must join the advance army.

Zhao Shangzhi said: "You are Hou Xiaogu's younger brother? Hou Xiaogu knew and heard that he had a younger brother. Didn't you study in Guanli? ”

Hou Xiaowen: "Yes." I just got a letter this year saying that my brother was killed by the Japanese devils last year. After receiving the letter, I rushed back, and now, my home is gone, and my father and mother are dead. I want to join the army, I want to resist Japan. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "If you are ready, then follow us." ”

Xiao Lu felt strange, the underground party in Harbin had discipline and could not be exposed, and the progressive youth had introducers, and they had already left with the material carrying team yesterday, why did this young man come up so late and suddenly approached himself and Zhao Shangzhi, the two core figures?

Xiao Lu originally wanted to interrogate a few words and let him get on other ships, but Zhao Shangzhi had already spoken, so it was difficult to say anything else, so he said, "When did your parents not have?" ”

Hou Xiaowen: "It was gone at the end of last year. I have to be on the team. ”

Xiaolu said: "Welcome. Do you have any relatives in your hometown in Dalian? ”

Hou Xiaowen: "Captain, my hometown is in Haicheng, not Dalian. ”

Xiaolu said: "Welcome. Why didn't you come to join the army with the others yesterday? ”

Hou Xiaowen: "Yesterday I went to find the pseudo-police who arrested my brother. ”

Xiaolu said: "Did you catch it?" ”

Hou Xiaowen: "I found out at night that the policeman had been executed. ”

The group now consisted of less than 100 people, and they left the Japanese headquarters, got on the requisitioned bus, arrived at the dock, and got on the boat. The fighters on the ship, led by Wang Santai, escorted the captured captain and crew, had been waiting for a day.

The small gunboat left the Harbin pier, crossed the Harbin Bridge, and drove downstream, at this time, the Japanese army had occupied the Harbin Bridge, shouted loudly at the gunboat, saw that there was no turning back, and began to shoot at the gunboat.

Zhao Shangzhi aimed the gunboat's small machine gun at the bridge, which was a cannon. The shells swept over the piers and landed in the water, causing a splash.

Zhao Shangzhi said hatefully: "I occupied Harbin, and just gave up, I am really unwilling!" ”

Xiao Lu laughed and said, "There is a kind of occupation called giving up. ”

Wang Santai said: "This is guerrilla warfare. We don't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but the will of the people and the growth and decline of power. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "I understand the reason, and at the meeting, I was the first to put forward a plan to support the commander's timely retreat." Isn't that unwilling? ”

Xiao Lu smiled and said: "Occupy Harbin and make a fortune." What is not satisfied with doing this with our existing strength? ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "No one in Yan'an wants the central government to punish us, right?" ”

Xiao Lu still smiled and said, "Punishment? If there is, I'll take it. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "This time I took Harbin, and there was a lot of movement, but I didn't kill many Japanese devils." Unwilling, unwilling. ”

Xiao Lu suddenly became serious and said, "That's the point. Why are we retreating? Their large forces are coming, but we still can't beat them. The enemy is strong and I am weak, so we must not be hot-headed. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "There are many people shouting that they want to liberate the whole northeast and drive the Japanese into the sea. Looks like they're getting a little hot-headed. ”

The boats went down the river, and the boats on the river were taken away by the people transporting supplies, and they were clean, and the Japanese troops on the shore watched the small gunboats leave, and they were helpless. Everyone was nervous for so many days, and suddenly relaxed, except for a few soldiers who stayed on each ship, everyone else rested at ease.
