[The Iron Blood King of the Anti-Japanese Army] Chapter 94: Ma Zheng's anger

On the night of May 8, a group of cavalrymen dressed in Japanese military uniforms quietly came out of Shangyi County, and then went straight to a village dozens of kilometers away.

The village is located at the junction of Xinghe and Shangyi, called Dongyingzi, and is a village where Mongolian and Han people live together. Since the road to Shangyi was guarded here, a large stronghold was built after the Japanese occupied this area.

Later, after this place was captured by Ma Zheng's subordinates, Ma Zheng also stationed a small force here to monitor the movement of Japanese troops in the direction of Shangyi.

However, because the Japanese army blew up all the fortifications here when they retreated, Ma Zheng's headquarters could only station their troops in the village and live with the common people.

In the middle of the night, a small Japanese army arrived in the grove outside the village. However, they did not rashly launch an attack, but carefully observed the terrain around the village, and at the same time sent people to reconnoiter and find out the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

It soon became clear to the Japanese that this was a typical northern village, and most of the houses were facing south. Judging by the number of houses, there are at least 300 people living in the village, and there are two entrances and exits from the village, and the others are blocked. At the entrance of the village, there are Tuba Road soldiers standing guard, and there are patrols in the village.

After finding out the situation in the village, the Japanese army launched an attack, although the Eighth Route Army arranged soldiers to stand guard at the entrance of the village and also sent patrol soldiers in the village, but the Japanese army still quietly touched in.

After solving the sentry at the entrance of the village, a reinforced squadron of Japanese troops quickly entered the village and then went straight to the command post of the Eighth Route Army

Ma Zheng, who was in Jining City, didn't know about this, and he didn't guard against the Japanese army actually attacking them with a small force, and Ma Zheng was having a headache to settle the peasants who had been exchanged.

Although Ma Zheng had already broken his mouth with them, and also bitterly stated the dangers he might face when he went back at this time, those ordinary people just couldn't listen to them, and they just didn't want to stay in the Suicha base area.

But Ma Zheng knew very well that letting them go now was tantamount to pushing them into the fire pit, so the two sides were at such a stalemate.

However, the patience of the common people is limited, after all, they have wives and children hundreds of kilometers away waiting for them to go back, and they will not listen to what Ma Zheng says in the face of the temptation to go home. Therefore, in the past two days, many ordinary people have escaped by taking advantage of the night, and although they will soon be arrested, their attitude towards the Eighth Route Army has begun to change and become even worse.

Therefore, Ma Zheng had no choice but to report the matter to his superiors, hoping that the head of the headquarters could give them some instructions, after all, he had no experience in dealing with such things.

The head of the headquarters called back briefly, with only a few words: "The twisted melon is not sweet!" ”

Ma Zheng knew that the head of the headquarters wanted him to let those people leave, just as the head of the headquarters said, the twisted melon is not sweet. Even if Ma Zheng is good for those people, they don't appreciate it, and if the stalemate continues, it may only lead to a more intense conflict between the two sides.

In desperation, Ma Zheng had no choice but to consult with Yun Jian and others, and finally decided to immediately send these ordinary people who did not want to stay away. However, for the sake of safety, they could not be let go without neglect, and troops had to be sent to escort them to enemy-occupied areas, but not deeply.

At the same time, they had to be given some travel expenses and dry rations to these people, so that they would not die of cold and starvation after the troops left. While this is not necessarily safe, it is the safest thing to do in the current situation.

Ma Zheng then arranged the matter to the special operations team, but just as Ma Zheng was about to give a combat order, Xu Xiaolin walked in quickly with a telegram and said, "Commander, there is an emergency report. ”

Ma Zheng said: "Emergency telegram? The regiment's? ”

"The 201st regiment was sent by Commander Chen personally!" Xu Xiaolin replied in a deep voice.

"Read!"

Xu Xiaolin hurriedly read: "Commander, an hour ago, a reinforced platoon of our unit stationed in Dongyingzi Village was attacked by about a squadron of the Japanese army. In addition, the people in Dongyingzi Village also suffered heavy casualties, with 247 civilians killed and only 65 escaped. The loss of grain, livestock and property is even more incalculable, and the village was also burned down by the little devils. ”

"Half an hour ago, the small red clay village five kilometers east of Dongyingzi Village was also attacked by the Japanese army, because the small red clay village did not have a garrison, so the whole village was slaughtered by the Japanese devils, and no one survived. After receiving a call from the defenders asking for help, our unit immediately sent troops to reinforce Dongyingzi Village, but by the time they arrived, the Japanese army had already withdrawn. ”

"Smack!" The enamel teapot in Ma Zheng's hand was slammed to the ground.

Then Ma Zheng roared angrily: "Bastard, brute! This group of bitches is so brutal! ”

Before Ma Zheng's words fell, Xu Xiaolin's assistant Wang Ke also ran in with a telegram, although he saw that the room was in a mess, but he didn't care, and hurriedly said: "Commander, the 200th regiment is urgent!" ”

"What's the matter, have they also been attacked by the Japanese army?" Ma Zheng asked in a deep voice.

"It was an hour ago that four villages in Fengzhen County were attacked by devils at the same time, and the Japanese army dispatched four reinforced squadrons to carry out a sneak attack on the four strongholds of the 200th regiment. In order to cover the transfer of the masses, the 200th regiment suffered heavy losses, three platoons were completely annihilated, one company was heavily damaged, and more than 200 people were killed and wounded, and more importantly, "

"What is it, don't spit it out, just say it!" Ma Zheng said.

Wang Ke gritted his teeth and said: "What's more, the people have suffered heavy casualties, and after the devils entered the village, they searched for young men from door to door. In less than an hour, 659 civilians, including 127 children and four babies less than a month old, were killed in four villages. ”

After listening to these two telegrams, Ma Zheng was almost mad, slapped the table and asked: "How did Huang Bingyan and Chen Xudong become the two regiment leaders, and did they eat dry rice?" ”

At the same time, Ma Zheng pointed at Xu Xiaolin and Wang Ke and said: "There are also the two of you, who are in charge of the intelligence work in our base area, and you don't know if the devils have touched the village, how do you do your intelligence work?" ”

Xu Xiaolin immediately bowed his head and said, "Commander, it is true that we did not do our job well, please punish me organizationally." ”

Ma Zheng said angrily: "What's the use of punishing you, can you resurrect those ordinary people?" Five garrison sites were slaughtered in one night, and more than 1,000 military and civilian casualties were inflicted, which was an absolute shame for our soldiers. ”

"Yes, this is definitely a shame for our Duqi Brigade, we must fuck the fuck hard and avenge the dead people!" The grumpy Wu Xiuda got up and said, as long as Ma Zheng gives an order, even if this guy is allowed to attack Zhangjiakou, I am afraid he will not have any objections.

Yun Jian was still relatively calm, thought for a while and said, "Commander, I think the little devil is scared by us. Especially some time ago, you led a special combat team to attack and harass the Japanese army, pulling out other strongholds and blowing up other people's artillery towers. Eighty percent of these little devils want to give us a way to treat others in the way of others. ”

"Yes, yes, the political commissar is right, in the past, we had a small unit scattered to look for fighters, and as soon as there was an opportunity, we would gather superior forces to attack the enemy. Now the enemy is taking the initiative with a rapid reaction force to attack the villages where our small units are stationed, and to deal a devastating blow to the villages where our troops are stationed, and it seems that these little devils have grown. Huang Sicheng said.

Ma Zheng slapped the table and said loudly, "I don't care where these little devils come from, but I know the truth of killing people to pay for their lives, since everyone is here, then think about how to give the little devils back color and avenge the dead people today!" ”
