Xiao Lu left the prisoner of war camp and returned to the temporary headquarters, saying, "Where are the troops now?" ”

The map had already been hung on the wall, and a staff officer said: "Wang Santai's troops are still in the west of the Daxing'an Mountains, and at present, rumors have been successfully spread, and a large number of urban people have gradually left. Some of the herders in the countryside have run away, and many are reluctant to leave. ”

Xiaolu said: "Looks like we have to keep doing work." Tell them to sabotage the railroad to the west, and ask for a delay in enemy transportation for a month. After the mission is completed, immediately retreat, repair the base before the weather cools down significantly, prepare for the winter, and trim it. It will be enough to leave only a few people with radio reconnaissance. The number of people left behind is determined according to the amount of food. ”

The staff officer continued: "Some of Lin Meng's troops have completed preparations in the areas of Arshan, White Wolf, Tunnel, and Wuchagou. His large army was stationed in Wuchagou to help equip the troops to repair weapons. ”

Xiaolu said: "Let them continue to observe the enemy's movements, dismantle the railroad tracks west of the tunnel, and try to delay the enemy for a month." Large forces were deployed along the railway to stand by and prepare for action. I know that they have been transporting supplies the hardest recently, and I hope that they will carry forward the spirit of continuous combat. If you are tired this time, it will be much safer in the future. ”

The staff officer continued: "Some of Wang Cai's troops have been deployed in several dangerous areas along the Binzhou Railway, and a unit is scattered in several bases along the line to standby. The other units involved in the war were transporting supplies in Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union, and a small number went to the back to develop new base areas. ”

Xiaolu said: "Okay. ”

The staff officer said: "On the east side of the Great Xing'an Mountains, Liu Quan's troops just recovered Baicheng again today. The Lisen Railway Column drove southeast, liberating several county towns along the way. Han Dengying's Suihua Column converged with Wanquance's Yilan Column to the east, liberating three county towns along the way. Wei and Li's troops have already returned to their respective base areas. ”

Xiaolu said: "Okay. This time, Lin Meng's food was not enough, so he had to arrange to bring it in from outside. Send a telegram to Yichun and arrange grain dispatch. Keep an eye on the weather, especially in Hailar. Is there any movement of the Japanese Hailar army coming back? ”

The staff officer said: "The wounded of the devils are currently being transported, and the large army of devils is repairing. ”

"Don't block the transport of the wounded. Anyway, the wounded have no combat effectiveness, and they can spread terror and war-weariness. The Japanese army will soon be leaving, and we must be prepared to prevent them from leaving Hailar. If the arsenal in Wuchagou is not safe, evacuate to a safe place. ”

The staff officer said: "Here are several telegrams, sent by various troops. ”

Seeing him hesitate, Xiao Lu said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

The staff officer said: "First, transport supplies to Outer Mongolia. The people of Outer Mongolia should divide some. Second, several troops were running out of food. Thirdly, several units hoped to take the initiative to attack the neighboring Japanese, fight a dozen, and get some food. ”

Xiao Lu knew that the people of Outer Mongolia had ideas, and they wanted to rub oil, so he said: "Regarding Outer Mongolia, send a little Western medicine and a batch of liquor to the troops, and have a relationship with people at all levels in Outer Mongolia, so as to prevent them from rubbing oil and strive for local supplies." In fact, it means to use Western medicine and liquor to open the way, liquor for everyone, and Western medicine for high-ranking people.

The staff officer began to take notes.

Xiaolu knew that the lack of food was real, and all the troops were working very hard. In addition, it is true that the officers and men do not want to stop fighting, and this matter must be resolved, and he said: "Regarding grain, we will mobilize a batch of our money in the Daxinganling area in the west and buy meat on the spot." The troops transporting food continue to intensify. In addition, help me draft a telegram: All troops on the western slope of the Great Khing'an Mountains are strictly forbidden to break the armistice, and violators will be punished. ”

When it was over, it was still early, so Xiaolu left the headquarters and went outside to relax.

I climbed to the top of the mountain along a path, and my view suddenly widened.

It turned out that the mountain peak I had just seen was nothing more than the tail of a small mountain range. The mountain peaks in the distance, the green pines are verdant, the leaves of the deciduous forests are golden, the mountain wind blows, and the indescribable autumn wind is bleak.

Looking south, a river meanders in the valley, meandering eastward under the constraints of the mountains on either side, alluvial patches of flat land at the foot of the mountains. The flat land has been reclaimed into fields, and many people are harvesting.

Looking north, there are winding mountains.

Looking to the west, on the other side of the mountain, there is another bureau that I have arranged.

What bureau?

Today, on the west side of the Great Khing'an Mountains, Hailar and several other places, Japan has stationed nearly 60,000 troops. In addition to the retreating wounded, there should be about 50,000 now.

It is impossible for these tens of thousands of Japanese troops to spend the winter here. Because of the agreement, there is no need for a large garrison, at most 10,000 people will be stationed here. Everyone else is to retreat and return to their original positions.

According to intelligence, a large number of Japanese troops were sabotaged and occupied by the Northeast Coalition Army because of the Baicheng-Arshan railway, leaving only a small number of troops to regain the railway, and most of the troops were concentrated in Hailar for repair. When the wounded are transported, they will take the train and leave Hailar. There was very little military ration in Hailar, Manchuria, Arshan and several other places, and the grain transported was for the few left-behind troops to survive the winter.

Xiaolu's plan was to destroy the railroad before the Japanese army left Hailar, so that the Japanese army could not leave Hailar, and let a large number of Japanese troops be wiped out in the winter here.

Let the troops spread rumors and keep the herders far away from the Japanese camps, just to cut off their food sources.

Today, most of the Northeast Coalition forces on the western slope have gradually left, and a few units remain, that is, a mixed force composed of special combat units and local herdsmen guerrillas. They had tons of high explosives, like vipers, hiding along the two railways, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an order.

On the western slope of the Great Khing'an Mountains, winter comes early, and winter is bitterly cold, and it is too possible to freeze tens of thousands of people to death.

After a week at the Chai River, Xiaolu not only talked with several high-ranking Japanese prisoners of war at least three times, but also talked with many junior prisoners of war, leading them to a state of thinking, and everyone striving to be philosophers.

Xiaolu even made it clear that in the future, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army could occupy remote areas in the northern part of western Manchuria. If the Kwantung Army does not annihilate the Northeast Coalition Army, the Northeast Coalition Army will not harass them excessively. If you try to destroy us, we will retreat to the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia. The USSR has already tasted the sweetness of cooperation with us. As long as the USSR remained in the Far East, we could not be annihilated.

Of course, this was only said to Komatsu alone, and only once.

However, what he meant, the Japanese understood, that is, as long as the Soviet Union was there, the Northeast Coalition Army could not perish. When the Japanese were discussing, one issue became the focus, first to eliminate the Northeast Coalition Army, or to eliminate the Soviet Union in the Far East first? It's a huge strategic question. In the past, it was thought that the Northeast Coalition would be eliminated first, but now, those who adhere to this view have been challenged.

World War II began right away. Koji wanted to use World War II in Europe to constantly instill in Japanese officers the idea that while Germany was attacking the Soviet Union, the Japanese army could sneak attack the Soviet Union, occupy the Far East, and defeat the Northeast Coalition without a fight. The key to success lies in the formulation and application of tactics and the choice of timing.

So, Koji brought the attention of the Japanese officers to the Soviet Far Eastern Railway, allowing them to see the huge weakness of the Soviet Union. At the same time, he also let the Japanese army know that in this battle of Nomenkan, the Soviet Union used the strength of the whole country to fight against part of the Kwantung Army. Victory or defeat, if analyzed purely from a tactical point of view, there is still room for discussion.

Koji knew that the Japanese were tactical geniuses and strategic fools. He wanted to make the Japanese make strategic mistakes with their tactical confidence. In this way, they can not only keep the team they have worked so hard to build up and keep their base areas, but also take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the Japanese and Soviets when they are fighting each other.

Therefore, in the past few days, when he was in contact with the Japanese officers, he deliberately asked several cases of the Japanese army's tactical victories in the past few decades, so that these high-ranking Japanese officers felt that their tactics were absolutely invincible, and this big bandit leader of the Anti-Japanese Union was asking us for tactics.

After detaining several very extreme people separately, he sent a long telegram to Lin Meng, clarifying his campaign objectives, handed over the command to Lin Meng, and led the command to leave Chaihe Town and return to Yichun.

October 15, 1935. Yichun.

Xiaolu returned to Yichun.

Yesterday, Xiaolu received a telegram on the road that the Japanese army had built all the Binzhou Railway, and was preparing to transport the 20th Division out and back to Seoul starting on October 15, and the route was the Binzhou Railway. The trail commands that the train can be blown up as planned.

Telegrams were received this morning that the special operations team had blown up the railroad under several cliffs and several trains had fallen off the cliffs. It is estimated that more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and some of them climbed the mountains alive.

This time, the railway was blown up so badly that half of the mountain was blown up, and the roadbed could not even be passed on foot. If you want to repair the railway, the amount of work is very large.

Several bridges also exploded, only a few small ones were blown up. The bridge was heavily defended and failed to succeed. The bombing of the bridge caused the interruption of Japanese transportation in several places, and the casualties were not significant.

Xiaolu's plan began to be implemented, he was going to trap tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Hailar. The weather is his friend. In mid-October, when the temperature drops, if the bombed-out railroad is not repaired within a month, they are stranded in Hailar.

Yesterday's telegram also said that the results of reconnaissance showed that the grain hoarded by the Japanese army in Hailar, Hailar, if 50,000 people ate it, could only last for a month. In the winter, which lasted for half a year, they were dead.

A few days later, information began to arrive.

This year, God seems to be against the path, and this year's cooling down is very late, but because the railway has been damaged in several places, the enemy is not easy to build, and finally survived to cool down.

Xiaolu sent a telegram to congratulate them, hoping that they would pay attention to the changes in the situation and take all measures not to prevent the Japanese troops from leaving Hailar.
