Chapter 545: The Raid Was Successful
Mudanjiang was a small station of the Middle East Railway at the earliest, and because it was backed by the Mudanjiang River, it was taken as its Mudanjiang station. After www.biquge.info 918 incident, the Japanese army began to focus on the construction of the Mudanjiang River. Japanese urban planning is centered on the station, forming a tic-tac-toe urban pattern. A road to the north of the station is named Taiping Road. The Japanese-style buildings on both sides of Taiping Road are the administrative center, banks and other functional departments, and they are the main streets with the most concentrated power.
On the left side of Taiping Road, Yintong Street (now Jiefang Road) is a street for food, and on the right side is a commercial street, with many shops. The puppet security corps was stationed in a barracks on the eastern part of the shopping street. Due to the fact that the city is well connected in all directions. Therefore, Cheng Hao led the department, and under the leadership of the guide, he quickly touched the vicinity of the security group. Cheng Hao considered that although the security group was a rabble, there were many people after all.
With only 200 men in his hands, he decided to concentrate his forces on attacking from one side. In fact, Cheng Hao didn't know what was going on, and the security team was almost in a state of scattered sand. Since the transfer of the Japanese army brigade and the transfer of the Japanese military police in the city to the airport to serve as a security guard, the security regiment has been negligent in management. The predecessor of the security group was a bandit, and in the absence of supervision, the nature of bandits was exposed.
Without the supervision and high-pressure management of the Japanese army, the security regiment can be said to have had a good year. The head of the security regiment has been leading a group of capable subordinates for a long time, soaking in brothels every day to mingle with prostitutes, singing and dancing. The soldiers of the security regiment, some of them stayed in the casino all night, and some of them looked for good friends, and they were drunk and dreamed of dying for the New Year. At present, only more than 300 people remain in the barracks of the security regiment. If the attack time is not chosen at midnight, there are fewer soldiers in the barracks.
Cheng Hao ordered the attack to end the battle, which took only half an hour. The vast majority of the soldiers of the security regiment became prisoners in their sleep, and some even thought they were joking. On the playground of the barracks, Cheng Hao looked at the captive who was squatting on the ground, and after a brief inquiry, he didn't even have an officer above the platoon commander, which made him unbelievable. After interrogation, it was learned that Xu Jiu, the head of the security regiment, had become a capable commander of his subordinates since the Japanese army was transferred away on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he soaked in a brothel and did not return to the barracks at all.
And the other officers of the security regiment are also the eight immortals who have crossed the sea to show their magical powers. Meng Fei considered that there were only 200 people in his hands, and it was impossible to arrest all of them, so he decided to capture the thief and capture the king first. Leaving 50 people to guard the captives, they went straight to the brothel of Xiangwanli. But Cheng Hao was late, and when he arrived at the brothel, he led his subordinates to flee for a long time, which laid a hidden danger for the bandits later. In particular, it took a lot of trouble to crack down on bandits, and it took up to a year to get rid of the bandits.
The brothel is located in the most prosperous area on the south side of the commercial street, and opposite him is a theater garden, which can be described as a perfect combination. After the gunshots rang out at midnight, he was guessing fists with a group of minions and a group of minions in his arms, and he was drinking. "Shoot there!" After a long time, I was shocked and woke up most of the time. "Regiment commander, listen to the gunshots as if in the direction of the airport and barracks." He was tall and slightly chubby for a long time, and although he was in his 50s, he looked slightly younger.
After a long time, his eyes rolled around and said, "You guys listen to the movement of a submachine gun, who will hold a submachine gun in his hand." "Could it be that the Central Army is calling!" A subordinate is confused. "The Central Army has a heavenly general, which the Japanese call the Airborne Troops. The capture of Harbin was carried out by the Airborne Forces. The movement of submachine guns sounded in the direction of the airfield and the barracks at the same time, and nine times out of ten it was them. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and at this time, several subordinates ran in untidy clothes, "Regiment commander, it's not good, the central army has surrounded the barracks, and we are taking advantage of the chaos to escape." "How many people are in the Central Army?" "I can't see clearly, there are hundreds of people!" Subordinates lied about the military situation. "Damn, the Japanese are exhausted, thirty-six plans to go to the top, withdraw! Let's go to Ning'an! "Escaping is their specialty, and in the blink of an eye, they slip away.
Cheng Hao led his troops to the brothel and pounced, and then began to search for the bandits. However, the bandits are scattered in all corners of the city, and they are not familiar with the place, and it is not possible to rely on the guidance of two local hidden arrow officers. Cheng Hao suddenly remembered the police, and he was familiar with the city, so he led his troops to the Puppet Manchurian Police Station on Taiping Road. At midnight, when the gunshots rang out, the puppet police chief immediately called the commander of the gendarmerie, but the phone did not work.
The Commissioner of Police did not dare to slack off and immediately summoned everyone to stand by at the police station. But what he was waiting for was not the Japanese army, but the airborne troops of the Eighth Route Army. Cheng Hao ordered to surround the police station, and then walked into the police station alone. "Excuse me, who are you?" The Commissioner of Police is confused. "We are the airborne troops of the Eighth Route Army, and Mudanjiang City has been controlled by us. My men have surrounded the police station, please lay down your arms with your men. ”
"Sir! There's no way we can do things for the Japanese, so please let us go! "Did I say I would punish you for your sins?" But you must lay down your arms and cooperate with us in maintaining law and order. "My subordinates are stupid, please forgive me. We immediately surrendered our weapons and then dispatched. "Very good, you immediately select the police who are familiar with the neighborhood and cooperate with us to arrest the soldiers of the security corps." Because the timing was missed, the effect of the arrest was not good, and many officers and soldiers of the security regiment ran away with oil on the soles of their feet.
The cold night sky is full of stars. Meng Fei stood on the tarmac and waited for the arrival of the second batch of airborne soldiers, "Report to the brigade commander, Commander Su ordered that at 10 o'clock in the day today, a group of transport clusters will land at the airport, let us get ready." Meng Fei nodded and said, "Inform Cheng Hao that after the second batch of airborne troops arrives, they will be stationed at the station of the former puppet army security regiment, so that he can prepare to respond." “
Soon, there was a roar in the sky, and the airfield was brightly lit, guiding the bombers to land. An hour later, 500 airborne troops landed on the airfield. "Report to the brigade commander, we arrived without incident!" "Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, you lead the troops into the urban area, and Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng will pick you up!" "Yes!" After the troops left, Meng Fei sent a report to the headquarters to report the details.
The next day, the sun rose a pole high, and Cheng Hao drove a black car into the airport. At this time, Meng Fei was still asleep, "Hey! The sun is shining on your buttocks, you are still sleeping there, and in another hour, the transport fleet will arrive. Meng Fei reluctantly got up and said, "You know, I closed my eyes at 6 o'clock, and I only slept for 3 hours." "You slept for three hours, and I didn't close my eyes all night."
After Meng Fei washed his face, the guard brought a bowl of rice and a plate of pickles. "Have you eaten?" "What time is it, and you haven't had breakfast yet!" "How's it going in town?" "At dawn, we put up notices on the main streets, announcing the implementation of military control in the urban area, and after I explained the specific tasks to Deputy Head Zhang, I came over." "The headquarters ordered me to temporarily serve as the supreme military and administrative officer of Mudanjiang, this is to catch ducks on the shelves!"
"Brother Meng, don't be hypocritical, isn't this obvious, in this case, you are the military and political chief!" The two were fully dressed and reappeared on the tarmac. Soon, a large number of aircraft appeared in the sky above. After ground navigation, the transport aircraft began to land. A transport plane was steady, and a major general, officer and other generals dismounted. This time, the transport plane airlifted in: officers and soldiers of two regiments of the 17th Brigade of the 2nd Army.
The two sides exchanged military salutes and shook hands. Walking into the temporary headquarters of the airport, Meng Fei said: "Brigade Commander Wu, I'm really sorry, the headquarters ordered your department to start an operation immediately after it arrives. "Brigadier Meng, if there is no problem, you can give the order." Meng Fei walked to the military map and said: "The main force of your army is advancing westward along the Zhongchang Railway, and the headquarters requires that the key points of Hailin and Hengdaohezi be captured within 2 days, and put pressure on the Japanese army on the eastern front of Harbin. ”
"In addition, your department will send a battalion to advance south and occupy the county seat of Ning'an." The officers and men of the two regiments of the 17th Brigade did not stop at the airfield, and the troops were divided into two routes, with the main force immediately advancing west along the railway line and one battalion advancing south. That night, the Western Route troops captured Hailin, and about 500 Japanese troops fled westward. There was only one Japanese gendarmerie in the county town of Ning'an, and it also fled south.
The Mudanjiang strategic point was taken, which caught the Japanese army by surprise. The capture of the Mudanjiang River meant that the re-encirclement of Harbin lost its strategic significance. To this end, Okamura Ninji ordered all units to retreat to the south and form a new line of defense on the line of Changchun and Jilin. The Japanese army ordered a complete retreat on the northern front, which immediately caused chaos, and the garrisons of the Japanese army in various county towns and mines fled in droves. The power vacuum creates the conditions for bandits to run rampant.
