Chapter 279: The Tragedy of Lao Daogou (1)
Half a month has passed in a hurry. Without the harassment of the Japanese army, in half a month, the North Manchurian base area enabled the army and the people to overcome the severe cold and thoroughly digest more than 200,000 people after purchasing materials from the Soviet Union, and the entire base area is developing to the thriving end. As the New Year is getting closer and closer, the weather in the Northeast is more severe and colder, the temperature drops to more than 40 degrees below zero, and the heavy snow has fallen for three days and three nights.
Even the strictly trained anti-United Nations fighters are not willing to move around in this cold winter, because of the lack of cotton, and the number of anti-United Nations fighters is too much, so the clothes of the anti-United Nations officers and soldiers only have a thin layer of cotton, so that the soldiers did not feel cold when they first entered the winter, but by the time of the 39th year, many anti-United Nations officers and soldiers were frostbitten, and even caused them to freeze to death, so Meng Qingshan had to organize many activities to let the soldiers move to avoid casualties, that is, the winter training competition.
And in such weather, a reinforced squadron of Japanese troops in the Xiajiang area, whose firepower had almost doubled, was covered in white cloth, and the whole person was almost completely surrounded by white, and it seemed that every step of the way in the middle of nowhere, in the base area already covered with thick snow, the trudgers were struggling to make a lot of effort.
If you don't look closely, it's hard to see that there are hundreds of Japanese troops marching here. And looking at the marching direction of these Japanese troops, the target is directly at the old road ditch, which is less than ten miles away from Qixingpao.
And look at the old road ditch that is less than 6 miles away from the Japanese army. Because of the snow, the weather is cold. The militia who was supposed to be guarding outside didn't even have a figure, and they all shrank in their homes at this time. Except for a few dogs in the village barking incessantly and a few wisps of smoke wafting from the village. It is hard to imagine that there are a large number of ordinary people living in this village. It is clear that the people of Lao Daogou will pay a heavy price for their carelessness in the next few hours.
"Baga, the weather in Manchuria is really cold enough, and it seems that water has entered my shoes.
The Japanese squadron leader, who was walking in the middle of the team, looked at the white snow in front of him. Listening to the cold wind whistling in his ears, he couldn't help but complain: "Captain, why did you order our squadron to come out to carry out the mission on the days when the spit turned into ice!" Don't he know. In such cold weather, will you freeze to death if you come out for a while? ”
"Hey. Since we changed the captain, this captain has been training us like crazy, I guess this is because he wants revenge, after all, the captain was originally the commander of the front-line troops, because these damn anti-Manchu forces were relegated to our garrison in the marginal mountains. The vice-captain, Jiro Ono, rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, and replied weakly.
"Ono-kun, I heard that this time not only the captain of our brigade has been replaced, but also the entire Harbin Command garrison has many captains, including His Excellency the Commander. were all removed. Squadron Leader Hiramoto, after listening to Ono Jiro's words, told a little inside information he knew.
"Well, there's such a big change in officers. Squadron Leader, where did you get the news? Jiro Ono immediately became interested.
"Ono-kun, I heard about it from one of my fellow countrymen, I have a fellow who works in the staff of the Harbin Command. One time he came down on a mission and told me when he was drinking with me. The squadron leader replied with a proud face. It seems that he is proud to know about this.
"Well, that message should be very accurate. You know why? "The interest of the vice-captain Jiro Ono was finally raised.
"Ono-kun. According to my fellow countryman, it is because in the battle with the Anti-Japanese Union in the past year, our North Manchurian garrison army has continuously failed to fight against the joint forces, and the anti-Manchurian forces have quietly broken through the Harbin city defense, robbed all the medicines in the Harbin hospital, and transported them all out of Harbin, leaving hundreds of casualties among the front-line troops. Because of these incidents, General Umezu Mijiro of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters was very angry, and heard that he wanted to take down the commander of Qiqihar, but the commander of Qiqihar was disemboweled, and then there was a drug incident, so Harbin was removed from his post from the commander to the captain. Squadron Leader Taira was still showing off the news he knew to the deputy squadron leader Ono Jiro in front of him.
"Well, in fact, this is not the captain's fault, these can only be blamed on the group of anti-Manchurian forces who are too cunning, and the common people of China are too hateful." Deputy Squadron Leader Jiro Ono said.
At 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, Laodaogou was peaceful, every household was preparing New Year's goods, and in a corner of the village, the Youyi County Party Committee of the Fourth Army Subdivision was holding a meeting. Suddenly, a murmur broke the silence of the small village.
"Ahh The little devil has entered the village, everyone run...... The little devil has entered the village ....... Several families living at the entrance of the village were suddenly stunned by the scene in front of them, shouted loudly, rushed out of their houses with their children in their arms, and ran out of the mountains behind the village. However, they forgot that there was a small group of little devils right behind him.
"Yo Si, Ya sent to... Be sure not to let anyone go..."The captain of the first squad of the Japanese army who led the team, looked at the backs of the people who kept thinking about the mountains behind the village, a smile of victory appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he kept ordering the soldiers around him to capture the escaped people.
The anti-Japanese government cadres hidden in the village immediately decided to break through to the northeast corner, but it was too late, and the devil brigade had already surrounded it. Since the number of the county government was less than 10 this time, and the Japanese army had nearly the number of a squadron, they had to immediately send people back to the mountain to ask for help.
Twenty-two-year-old Yang Mei only returned from the anti-Japanese training training class set up by the Fourth Army Sub-district and served as the secretary of the District Women's Rescue Association. Her family is an old Daogou person, her brother, younger brother and she all participated in the anti-Japanese team, the old father vacated the family house and used it as a quilt factory, and the family is producing cotton clothes for the Anti-Japanese Federation.
After hearing the gunshots, Yang Mei hid Cui Jun, a cadre of the County Women's Rescue Association, and hurriedly ran home to hide the documents.
After hiding the documents, Yang Meigang wanted to rush out, but was arrested by the Japanese puppet army who broke in. As soon as the enemy saw that there were several textile wheels in her house, they thought that this must be a small factory run by the Anti-Japanese Union, and a devil soldier laughed fiercely, and burned the house down with a fire.
When Yang Mei and her parents were tied up by the Japanese puppet army and escorted to the west entrance of the village, they found that the devil had escorted the entire village, men, women and children to a big locust tree in the middle of the village, and beat everyone with the butt of a gun to gather everyone.
Japanese squadron leader Hiramoto looked at the kneeling villagers in the village. He looked at the machine gun on the commanding heights of the village on one side, beckoned to the officer and asked him to tell this group of ordinary people that as long as they called out the cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation who were recuperating in the village, the imperial army would be greatly rewarded. Otherwise, they are all dead, and there are dead.
The interpreter shouted three times in a row, but none of the villagers spoke.
"Yaga! You are not good people, but you are all dead and dead. After Heimoto finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered the machine gun behind him to fire.
"Taijun, misunderstanding, we are all good people, we don't have any seriously injured people here at all, all this is a misunderstanding." (To be continued......)
