Chapter Thirty-Eight: Retreat, Generous Thanksgiving (Ask for Collection)
Second, I would like to thank you for your support.
****************************************************************
The god of luck once again favored Yang Tianfeng, and speaking of this Japanese major general was the best gift given to him by accident.
In the Battle of Wuhan, the lone army of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army penetrated deep into the two battlefields of Ruiwu Road and Nanxun Road, and was surrounded by the First Corps of the Nationalist Army in the narrow Wanjialing area.
When the officers and men of the Kuomintang learned that they had surrounded the 106th Division with nearly ten times the strength of their troops, their confidence was greatly increased, and the troops bravely rushed and fought repeatedly, and every hill and village was covered with the corpses of both sides, and blood stained every green grassland.
The Kuomintang Army even approached the headquarters of the 106th Division several times, and the division commander Matsuura was armed with a saber and was ready to commit suicide by seppuku, and the orderly soldiers of the division and regiment headquarters also took up arms and threw themselves into battle, but the attack was suspended for a time because the Nationalist Army did not know that it was the division headquarters.
After several days of fierce fighting, half of the 106th Division was wiped out. Due to the heavy casualties, the Japanese had to drop a few hundred junior officers to replenish the 106th Division. Moreover, the Japanese army command temporarily put together the Suzuki detachment to relieve the siege, which was led by the captured Major General Suzuki Harunmatsu.
On the way east, the Suzuki detachment was successively stubbornly blocked by the new 13th Division, the new 15th Division, and the 60th Division of the National * Army, and the advance was not smooth. It was during this siege relief operation that Suzuki Harunmatsu was injured by a shell and was admitted to the hospital, preparing to go to North China to take over his new official position after recovering from his injuries.
Originally, according to his rank, the level of security when he took office should have been very high, and it was unlikely that he would take this ordinary train of wounded soldiers. But the arrangement in the dark is often unexpected. In order to encourage the high-ranking officers who fought in the south, the headquarters of the Japanese empire sent their families to China, but they stayed in Tianjin for the time being because the war was still ongoing.
When Suzuki Harumatsu learned about this, he couldn't stay in the hospital anymore and strongly requested to be discharged early and go to North China to take over. Of course, his main purpose was to go to Tianjin first to reunite with his family.
Because he was so anxious that the Japanese did not have time to arrange it properly for him, they added a VIP car with steel plates to this train for wounded soldiers. In this way, the unlucky Suzuki Harunmatsu happily got on the train, dreaming of beautiful dreams, but he achieved the reputation of Yang Tianfeng and the Yudong Advance Team.
Luck is made up of countless accidents, Suzuki Harunmatsu is not injured, and should still lead the troops to fight on the front line; The Japanese don't do condolence things, and he won't be urged to take the train by death; If it weren't for the fact that he was knocked unconscious when the train was bombed, Yang Tianfeng could only get a suicide corpse; If Yang Tianfeng did not understand Japanese, Suzuki Harunmatsu would most likely be killed by his loyal men; If.........
A variety of coincidental or predestined factors were mixed in, which finally allowed Yang Tianfeng to pick up a big bargain, and also made Suzuki Harunmatsu the first Japanese active general to be captured by the Chinese* army in a record.
Explosions and heavy gunfire were heard in the distance, and the team responsible for blocking the devil's ironclad car blew up the railway, preventing the ironclad from approaching. There were too few devils on the ironclad car, and they did not dare to get out of the car to pursue, and only used artillery bombardment and machine gun sweeping.
The wounded, the remains of soldiers, and the trophies were loaded onto the train, and the locomotive hissed and was ready to go.
Yang Tianfeng saw Gao Yunhuan and others running over to meet, and as soon as they got on the train, he commanded the driver to start.
Gao Yunhuan climbed onto the locomotive, saw Yang Tianfeng's inquiring gaze, smiled evilly, blinked his eyes, and nodded.
Well, that's good, although it's a bit inauthentic to blame the blame, but for your own safety, it's okay to do so. Yang Tianfeng smiled slightly, took out a cigarette roll, took one in his mouth, and handed the cigarette to Gao Yunhuan and He Dameng.
He Dameng took one and gave it to the driver. The driver smoked a cigarette, his tense face seemed to relax, nodded his head, and said, "Three Forts, what a smoke!" ”
Gao Yunhuan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath comfortably, spit out a cloud of smoke at Xiao Si, and said, "Hey, that gun will be borrowed for me for two days." ”
"Is that kind of advanced play something you can play?" Xiao Si dodged the attack of "second-hand smoke", rolled his eyes, and said: "This is a gift from the young master to the future, forget it, you don't understand it." ”
Gao Yunhuan turned his inquiring gaze to Yang Tianfeng, who was thinking about things in a fog and didn't notice the conversation between the two of them at all.
"Sir Yang, can you leave us some explosives?" He Dameng asked tentatively: "Our activity area is close to the railway, and this kind of thing is very needed. ”
Yang Tianfeng put away his thoughts, turned his head to look at He Dameng, and said slowly: "We didn't bring much, and now there is not much left." There is a little bit in the Hanzhuang stronghold, and it is all for you. ”
"Thank you, Chief Yang." A hint of excitement appeared on He Dameng's face.
Having personally experienced the attack on the train, He Dameng's thinking suddenly became clear. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, relying on the railway has to eat these two lines!
Although the attack of the advance team paid a lot of price, it was very fruitful, not to mention the weapons and equipment, He Dameng saw that among the captured materials, there were two Shao Zuo and one Zhong Zuo's shoulder tags and a few senior command knives.
"There are no explosives, you can tear down the railroad tracks and dig the roadbed!" Yang Tianfeng said with a smile: "If you want to make an accident on the train, it's actually not difficult. As long as you have the right tools, you can remove the rails and carry them away. Relying on the railway, there is no need to worry about food and use, it depends on whether you are bold and whether you plan carefully. ”
As long as it is a devil, Yang Tianfeng does not have such a deep view of the portal, and with a point, the devil's loss will be greater, which he is very willing to see.
He Dameng nodded, glanced at Yang Tianfeng gratefully, and said, "Chief Yang, if you can trust us, we will be responsible for burying the bodies of the fallen brothers, and we can send them back in the future; As for the seriously injured, they can also be placed on the spot and taken care of by us, there are many abandoned mines on Xiaonan Mountain, and hiding is not a problem. ”
Yang Tianfeng groaned, He Dameng's proposal was very tempting, he had to take into account the actual situation now. Due to the desperate and stubborn resistance of Suzuki's guards, coupled with the inexperience of the soldiers of the advance team in the **** attack of the devil, the total number of casualties in this operation exceeded more than 40.
In addition to the seventeen soldiers who were killed, plus a dozen who were slightly wounded, there were also nearly ten seriously wounded. If you march with them, your speed will be greatly affected, and the chances of survival will be greatly reduced if you are seriously wounded under the bumps.
"Thank you for being so eager to help." Yang Tianfeng said sincerely: "This will reduce a lot of burden for our safe return, and it will also be very beneficial to the recovery of seriously injured soldiers." All we can do is to provide you with as much material and equipment as possible to express our sincere gratitude. ”
"Chief Yang doesn't have to be so polite." He Dameng smiled innocently, picked up the shovel and added a few coals, and said: "Speaking of which, we are also friendly forces, and it is appropriate to provide help within our ability." ”
The train drove fast, and soon it entered the coal mining company, where it joined the remaining men. At this time, there were not only fighters of the advance team, but also a dozen people of a small partisan detachment. Wang Fengming, the political commissar of the guerrillas, was busy with the ideological work of the Imperial Allied Army, and seven or eight puppet troops had already expressed their intention to abandon the darkness and join the guerrillas.
As soon as the train stopped, the soldiers of the advancing team jumped out of the train and carried the wounded, sick and supplies down and loaded them onto the cart together with the soldiers who were there to meet them. He Dameng ran over and briefly said a few words to Wang Fengming, and the two walked over together and expressed their intention to help Yang Tianfeng again.
"Thank you very much." Yang Tianfeng pointed to the materials being transported, and said generously: "Take whatever you need, you can be armed, and it is also a safe guarantee for our wounded." ”
He Dameng greeted him, and the guerrillas and the puppet army rushed up, picking out weapons and ammunition. The purple-faced man reached out to pick up the machine gun, but was blocked by Wang Fengming. Wang Fengming's meaning is also very simple, people say let you take it, that's kind words, we can't be too thick-skinned, really let go of our hands and feet.
"Why, such a big man, can't hold a machine gun?" Yang Tianfeng saw Wang Fengming's move, and used the agitation method with a smile.
Hmph, the purple-faced man picked up the machine gun with one hand and looked at Yang Tianfeng without showing weakness.
"Oh, there's this, see if you can pick it up." Yang Tianfeng kicked the iron bullet box again.
The purple-faced man his other hand, stood steadily, and said loudly: "Is there anything else?" ”
Hehe, Yang Tianfeng shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked away, came to Guo Songlin, and explained a few words in a low voice.
After being nervously busy, Yang Tianfeng shook hands with He Dameng and Wang Fengming one by one, rode on a high-headed horse, and led the team to set off.
The east slightly revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the remnant star closed his tired and sleepy eyes, retreated and disappeared, and the day was in the battle with the night, and finally won the battle.
The troublemakers left, and He Dameng, Wang Fengming and others began to arrange the future affairs. After this war, the Japanese devils will definitely carry out a search and arrest operation in the Hanzhuang area, and then stay in the charcoal factory, which is extremely dangerous.
"We already have the conditions for armed struggle, and we have met the requirements of our superiors that we should 'quickly arm'. The kind of search with bare hands should be avoided, this kind of risk, now unnecessary, in case of an accident, it will not only be the sacrifice of a few people, but also the destruction of the cause of our struggle on the railway. Wang Fengming saw that the team members each had a gun and a crooked handle, and when Yang Tianfeng left, he left some of the money collected from the coal mining company as the cost of treating the wounded. So, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Yes, we now have weapons and are able to fight the enemy. Therefore, we should immediately engage in scattered armed activities. When there is danger, we will solve it with a resolute fight. He Da said with a fist swing.
