Chapter 218 The Vigilance of the North China Front
Knowing that the plane was successfully transferred to Yulin Airport, He Zhengdao, who was far away in Baotou, also breathed a sigh of relief. Except for ordering the officers and men of the 1st Division, who had been busy all night, to seize the time of the day to take turns to rest and recuperate, he did not have time to rest in peace.
Taking advantage of the daylight hours, He Zhengdao contacted the underground party organization in Baotou and began to deal with some officials of the puppet Mongolian government. After the die-hard traitors of those little devils were found out, they were also dragged to the city to be publicly executed.
With those expatriates as shields, He Zhengdao doesn't have to worry too much about the air raids of the little devils. At least from the information fed back by the reconnaissance detachments at present, the airspace near Baotou City is no longer visible to the little devil's plane.
With these puppet government officials who bullied and slaughtered civilians on behalf of the little devils, they were escorted to the school field one by one. Many people in Baotou who had nothing to do, as well as businessmen who were blocked in the city by the Red Army's attack on the city, also rushed over to see the excitement.
Looking at the puppet Mongolian officials who were detained by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, many people also said excitedly: "I have long said that being a traitor will not end well." It's not a failure to report, it's not time yet. When the hour comes, the report will have to be reported! ”
The rest of the merchants who went to Baotou City to do business, seeing this scene, said somewhat with novelty: "Is this the Red Army in Shaanxi?" I really can't imagine that these Red Army are so powerful that they can fight Baotou City in one night! ”
'Old Wang, you're behind in the news! Now it can't be called the Red Army, it's the Eighth Route Army. See the epaulettes on the military uniforms of these people? The Eighth Route Army, they are now also an anti-Japanese force of the Nationalist Government. ’
There were well-informed businessmen who seemed to know about the reorganization of the Red Army into the Eighth Route Army. Just because there is a war going on in Shanxi, many businessmen do not dare to enter the territory of Shaanxi, which borders Shanxi, at will.
At the moment, Baotou is doing business. It's more because it's connected to the train. In addition, the factory here in Baotou produces many things that are also very marketable. Many vendors who have been licensed by the Japanese army. They also come here to buy goods.
It's a pity that this time the merchants are afraid that they will return empty-handed. The reason is simple. They all knew that the Eighth Route Army, which had attacked the city last night, was currently disassembling and assembling the equipment of those factories. This means that these factories have completely disappeared in Baotou.
Listening to the political work cadres of the Eighth Route Army on the public trial platform tell the charges of the people on trial, after reading them out, he said: "The above 16 traitors, the independent division of our Eighth Route Army announced their death sentences and immediately executed them. Pull it down, it's dead! ”
'Don't! I am the prince of Inner Mongolia, you can't kill me! ’
For the officials who have the qualifications of the princes, at this time the shelves of the Qing princes are full. The political work cadres sneered: "Do you still think that it is the Great Qing Kingdom now? Now it is the Republic of China. You are no longer high princes.
Even if you are princes and nobles, from the day you took refuge in the little devils, you were the sinners of the people's crusade. Today, our Eighth Route Army has arrived, that is, your time of death has arrived. It's time for you to pay for your sins! ”
Accompanied by 16 puppet Mongolian traitors who were sentenced to death, they were directly pistol-pointed by the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade, and after a row of gunfire. The sixteen heinous traitors all fell in a pool of blood, and everyone watching them was terrified.
'Wow. The Eighth Route Army is really ruthless, kill it when you say it! This is a prince and nobleman! ’
Even if the Qing Dynasty has become history, in a place like Baotou, there are still people who are afraid of the power of these princes. Ultimately. During the years when the Qing Dynasty ruled China, it was true that many people under its rule had a servile nature.
And He Zhengdao is such a bright and righteous model, in order to awaken the blood of the people and the men of the Han family. I want to awaken the blood in my veins. Only by watering it with blood. This kind of killing is more impactful and deterrent.
The rest of the ones were not pulled out and shot. Seeing that all the people I worked with in the past were shot, there was also a kind of sad sigh of rabbit death. At least in their opinion. As long as you can survive this time, you really can't do bad things for the little devil in the future.
After a short time, the political work cadre in charge of the public trial said in a timely manner: "Today is the first time that our independent division of the Eighth Route Army has attacked the Japanese army that invaded and occupied Baotou, and it is also the first time that these traitors and traitors have been tried publicly, but it will definitely not be the last."
Taking this opportunity today, we also warn those who are lucky not to do anything that goes against the general interests of the nation. The little devils are now determined and rampant, but sooner or later they will be driven out.
If you still expect the little devil to give you wealth, then in the future, when the little devil leaves, it will be your end. The people and the government will not forgive you. So remember the saying, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself! ”
With the end of the temporary public trial, the people who watched the excitement also went back to their homes in due course. For the Japanese expatriates who were imprisoned in the square, many people who were usually bullied by the expatriates also looked relieved. The heart says, 'You also have today'!
At this time, He Zhengdao appeared in front of these expatriates at the right time and said: "For you, originally we really wanted to shoot you en masse. Over the years, your army and you, the diaspora, have killed many innocent people in the northeast.
But we are soldiers, not cold-blooded butchers. Therefore, as long as you stay honest, we will spare your lives when we leave. But none of your property is ill-gotten gains, and we will confiscate them all.
Don't think that after we leave, you can exploit the ordinary people of Baotou City again. In that case, the next time you fall into our hands, you will die like the Sunbowl Ronin who were shot last night.
I would like to give you a word, China is not full of gold, and even if there is, it does not belong to you. If you continue to stay here, sooner or later, you will not end well. China has awakened, and your aggression will end in failure.
Perhaps in a short time, your war of aggression will be won. But think about it, how much bigger is Huaxia than your daily bowl? Whether you fight for consumption or resources, you will only lose in the end. Take advantage of the opportunity to go back to your daybowl! ”
For He Zhengdao, he knew very well that in order to stabilize the law and order and factories in the occupied areas, the Japanese army would often send people from China to work with the army. At this moment, in the three eastern provinces, there is no doubt that the most civilians have been relocated.
Although these civilians are in the Japanese bowl, they are just ordinary ordinary people. But after arriving in China, they became accomplices of the Japanese army and made no small contribution to the Japanese invasion and occupation of China. Therefore, they can also be considered accomplices of the war!
Think about the near future, when the Japanese army broke and fled under the attack of the Soviet Red Army. Many expatriates and orphans who were abandoned in Northeast China were also taken in by the Chinese people back then, and finally survived.
This time to capture Baotou City, what He Zhengdao had to do was to give a warning to the Japanese troops stationed here. Let them understand that the idea of hitting their own base at will will have serious consequences, and they must beat the accomplices of these little devils.
The public trial and execution of those pseudo-Mongolian officials is to warn those who do things for the little devils to restrain their behavior in the future and not to bully and abuse innocent people at will. Otherwise, those pseudo-Mongolian officials who are executed will be their future fate.
As for these Japanese expatriates who migrated to Baotou, I believe that tonight's encounter will make them understand that their lives are also not guaranteed if they stay here. And this is not the zodiacal paradise they imagined.
As time passed, the puppet Mongolian cavalry division that had driven from Guyang did not dare to march quickly at all, as expected by He Zhengdao. If they want to arrive in Baotou, they are afraid that they will have to wait until after dawn tomorrow.
At present, the 2nd Division, which has arrived at the Dalat Banner, has begun to build defensive and blocking fortifications, and what they need to do is to ensure the safe retreat of the 1st Division. As for the direction of Wuyuan City, the infantry wing sent by Baotou was also routed by the cavalry division.
The Japanese troops, who had not rested all night, were stunned by the sudden attack of the cavalry division after a long journey. In the sky above the Great Plains, in the face of the surprise attack of the cavalry division, they simply did not have time to react much.
Even the reconnaissance planes that rushed to the battlefield looked at the two units that were mixed together, and they also looked a little powerless. Everyone knows what will be the end of the infantry meeting the cavalry in the open steppe.
After slashing and killing this infantry wing supporting Wuyuan, the cavalry division handed over the matter of cleaning up the battlefield to the troops sent by the Suixi Military Division. As for them, they also moved in the direction of Baotou in the form of a cavalry battalion.
It was learned that Wuyuan City had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and there was also a cavalry division, which was currently moving closer to Baotou. Kuroda Shigetoku, who was sitting in Guisui, also felt that the strength of the Eighth Route Army, which had established a base in Suixi, was far stronger than he imagined.
Faced with such a situation, Kuroda Shigejin felt that it was very necessary to concentrate the main force of the division to encircle and suppress it. But the problem now is that he also has a few troops at his disposal. If you want to organize encirclement and suppression, at least at the moment, you can't do it.
After reporting the situation, Shouichi Terauchi, the commander of the North China Front Army, who was reorganized after the 77 Incident, also looked surprised and said: "Eighth Route Army? Is the strength of this force really so strong? ”
The Japanese army, which knew something about the warlords in various parts of China, also knew that the Red Army, which had always been opposed to the Central Army, was not strong all along. Even, the Northeast Army and the Jin Sui Army, which were infiltrated by the Japanese intelligence agencies, were inferior.
It is precisely because of this that the Japanese army actually does not know much about the Red Army, which is currently reorganized into the Eighth Route Army. Even the North China authorities have sent many spies to infiltrate the base area to find out intelligence.
But the information that can be sent back so far is also pitiful. Most importantly, the secret intelligence station of the Japanese army in Shaanxi was seriously destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. A group of hidden spies were all found out by the Intelligence Department of the Eighth Route Army.
In this case, it also led to the fact that the Japanese army did not know much about the specific strength of the Eighth Route Army at present. Although they knew that the Eighth Route Army had reorganized ten main divisions this time, many Japanese generals felt that these ten main divisions should not be a cause for concern.
In the era of hot weapons, it was impossible to win by virtue of numerical superiority. Therefore, after receiving a telegram from Shigetoku Kuroda and learning that Baotou Castle had been captured, Shouichi Terauchi was so surprised! (To be continued.) )
