Chapter 310: Evacuation of Datong
Chapter 310: Evacuation of Datong (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, rewards, everything!! )
Ma Zheng was determined to retreat, and it was useless to persuade and plead Yang Aiyuan and others repeatedly, and in desperation, Yang Aiyuan even reported to the Governor's Department of the Second War Zone, asking Chief Yan to directly order Ma Zheng's department to stick to Datong, but it still failed to change Ma Zheng's mind.
Although Ma Zheng understood the feelings of Yang Aiyuan and others, he did not approve of their approach, Datong was an isolated city compared to the troops of the Suicha Military Region. And is there any mass base here, there is no difference between staying here and fighting hard with the Japanese army and looking for death.
As for Yang Aiyuan's reinforcements in the Second Theater Ma Zheng, they can only deal with it with "hehe", the main forces in the Second Theater are now in Jinnan and Suixi, and the closest troops to Datong are also five or six hundred kilometers, coupled with the weak infrastructure and the resistance of the Japanese army along the way, when they arrive in Datong, the daylily will be cold.
Moreover, Ma Zheng had already done something to Datong City, and as long as he was willing, he could take this ancient city at any time in the future, so Ma Zheng didn't seem to care about the requests of Yang Aiyuan and others, and ordered the troops to retreat immediately.
Besides, the strategic purpose of this time has been fully achieved, and Ma Zheng has no reason to stay in Datong all the time, after all, it will change later. There is no point in fighting any longer, resisting Japan is not an overnight thing, history has long told him to fight a protracted war, so Ma Zheng will be towards the need to end the war in northern Jin as soon as possible.
After a whole night of hard work, after the last batch of supplies was loaded and left at 3 o'clock in the morning, Ma Zheng ordered the forward command to immediately issue an order to the 12th Brigade and the 92nd Division to withdraw the whole army to the north.
The reason why the retreat was so rapid was also thanks to the cars provided by the Japanese for Ma Zheng's department, which had captured many Japanese cars, more than 300 of which were in front of and behind. This time, Ma Zheng's department directly captured a Japanese transportation company, which mainly transported industrial raw materials and coal resources to Beiping, Shijiazhuang and other places. It is an important complement to rail transport, so the entire company has hundreds of cars.
In addition, other coal mining enterprises also have their own small-scale fleets, adding up to several hundred, and there are as many as seven or eight hundred vehicles. So many cars worked together with the railway to empty Datong overnight.
Before the arrival of Japanese planes on the morning of October 1, Ma Zheng's headquarters had already withdrawn from the Datong area. Stepping foot on the boundary of Fengzhen. At the same time, Yang Chengwu's troops also returned to Xinpingbao, and the battle, which lasted two days and two nights, was finally over.
This time, the Suicha Military Region dispatched a total of two divisions of troops, one division and one regiment of the army stationed in Mongolia, plus a mixed brigade and a large number of puppet troops. The two sides fought for two days and two nights in the areas of Datong Tianzhen, Yinshan and Yangyuan Wei County, and Ma Zheng's troops quickly regained Datong, one of the nine ancient capitals, with strong combat effectiveness.
In this war, Ma Zheng's headquarters killed and wounded countless Japanese puppet troops, and eliminated two infantry wings and two military police squadrons of the Japanese army in formation, of which more than 1,300 Japanese soldiers were captured, which was absolutely the only one since the beginning of the war.
In addition, Ma Zheng's department also succeeded in destroying a secret prison and the 731 secret research laboratory of the Japanese army, although Nobuyoshi Ohno realized that there was absolutely no hope of escape. Ordered the troops to destroy most of the laboratories, so Ma Zheng's department still got a lot of strong evidence.
Coupled with the information provided by many dying miners who were rescued from the secret prisons of the Japanese army, it was enough to discredit the Japanese in the international community again. What's more, in order to treat those miners this time, Tie Niu deliberately left behind the group of military doctors who served Unit 731, these people are the implementers of the entire plan, and their confessions are enough to convince the international community of the authenticity of all the evidence provided by Ma Zheng's department.
Of course, Ma Zheng, who is well aware of the crimes of these Japanese military doctors, wants to execute these demonic executioners, but in view of the fact that these people are still worth using. In addition, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo and others are still in the military region at the moment, so Ma Zheng had no choice but to lock up more than 20 guys who desperately resisted and said that they were military doctors. Wait until you're done with all these trivialities before interrogating those guys.
The results of the battle were brilliant, but although Ma Zheng's troops paid a considerable price in this battle, although the casualty figures have not yet been counted, they will not be too optimistic to think about it. However, compared with the harvest and achievements this time, this casualty is still bearable in Ma Zheng's opinion.
At seven o'clock in the morning of October 1, Ma Zheng withdrew to Fengzhen County with the headquarters of the Seventh Division. At the same time, Abe Guixiu had also discovered that Yang Chengwu's troops had evacuated Tianzhen, reoccupied the county seat of Tianzhen, and sent scouts to march towards the Datong line.
After learning that the Eighth Route Army in Datong City had also retreated, Abe Norihide immediately led the 19th Wing to Datong and entered the Datong City at 11 o'clock in the morning. The plaster flag once again fluttered at the head of Datong City.
Entering Datong City again, Abe Norihide was not the slightest bit happy, Datong City at this time had changed greatly from when he left three days ago. The streets were even more depressed due to the depression caused by the war, and there were almost no people in sight on the streets, only wild dogs constantly haunting, and occasionally these wild dogs could be seen biting bloody flesh and bones in their mouths, but if you look closely, you will find that the wild dogs are definitely not the flesh and blood of some animal.
Walking through the most prosperous Xiasipo Street in the past, it is even more of a mess here. In the past, it was the most prosperous place in Datong City, and even during the war, it was crowded with people. What's more, most of the shops here are owned by Japanese, and there are 54 Japanese chambers of commerce concentrated on this street, engaged in various industries such as grain, oil, cloth, and garment production, and even run brothels in Qinglou.
But now it's almost destroyed, all the shops are wide open, all the goods are empty, and not even the director of the store has been seen.
This kind of scene Abe Norihide has experienced before, and it was in Zhangjiakou, just like the scene in front of him. Not only was the goods gone, but even all the Japanese expatriates were taken back as prisoners by the hateful bastard, and then used this to demand ransom from the Imperial Japanese Army. It's like a bandit crossing the border, and not even a single hair is left for them.
After only a few minutes on the street, Norihide Abe rushed to the division headquarters with his people. Before he reached the division headquarters, in a wide street less than 100 meters away from the division headquarters, Abe Norihide saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.
I saw that the long streets were full of the remains of the Imperial Army's war dead, and these bodies were neatly stacked together. Layer by layer, like a log, quite layered.
But Norihide Abe didn't see the beauty at all, after all, there were corpses piled up. In addition, the clothes of these imperial warriors were stripped of their clothes, and most of them were only left with a white crotch cloth, which hung like diapers.
Perhaps because there was no one to take care of them, when they came over, a large number of wild dogs were eating the corpses of the soldiers, because of the abundance of "food", these wild dogs that would have been biting each other because of a dry bone without any oil or water turned out to be quite quiet, and did not fight with each other at all, and ate "food" with peace of mind.
This situation completely angered Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, and immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot immediately, killing all the wild dogs.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
After a rapid burst of gunfire, a dozen wild dogs collapsed in a pool of blood, and the rest scattered and fled with their tails between their legs.
Seeing the wild dogs fleeing, Abe Norihide was still angry, but there was nothing to vent, so he could only pull out his command knife and slash at the masonry ground.
The wooden plaque hanging at the gate had been lifted off and thrown on the ground, although the handwriting of "Imperial Japanese Army Datong Garrison Command" and "Imperial Japanese Army 26th Division Headquarters" could still be seen clearly, but the broken plaque could no longer be used. Seeing the messy footprints on it and the marks of the car's tires running over, Abe felt deeply ashamed. (To be continued.) )
