Dong Ku naturally couldn't tell Lao Zhao that their enemies were two countries, in that case, it would really be a lot of pressure, so he chose to carry it alone and let Lao Zhao share part of the pressure for him. He transported the thirty heavy cannons from Harbin from the secret munitions depot to Qiqihar, one was to let Lao Zhao really have the ability to protect himself, and the other was to design an artillery battle for him, reduce his pressure and at the same time, get some supplies for him to hold on to the longer term.
The shelling, during the withdrawal of the Japanese troops, was bombarded one by one, so that the retreating Ichiro Dozaki could still hear sporadic explosions far away. This made Ichiro Dozaki resentful, but there was nothing to be done, all their artillery was left, and only Tailai still had dozens of cannons.
He couldn't understand why the enemy's artillery bombardment was so accurate and so powerful, and generally speaking, even if an artillery position was targeted, it would be difficult for the shells to cause a detonation if the shells did not directly fall on or near the shell pile on the position.
As long as the shells fall during the enemy's artillery bombardment, there are few artillery positions that are not destroyed. In addition, several barracks were attacked by this devastating artillery bombardment, the attrition was innumerable to the point of minority, and the command was cut off, which was the main reason for their retreat.
Why is this happening?
He sat on his horse and racked his brain.
At the beginning of the retreat, the radio received a clear call, apparently that the other side had scouts infiltrated the camp, which was not difficult to accept, but it was reported that it was the coordinates, but it should not have even been tested firing, and it should be directly bombarded by a group.
He couldn't understand it, so he could only wait for Tailai to report the situation. Wait for the decision above.
Ichiro Dozaki led more than 50,000 Japanese troops through the snow and went straight to Tailai a few kilometers away, not to mention, on the positions they left, the battle was over.
The anti-union fighters, who were several times larger than the Japanese army, were in a dizzy state of the Japanese army, although they paid the price. But it's also an easy win.
At this time, the position was full of Japanese corpses, all the wounded did not have to worry about being rescued, and the prisoners, after the abnormal battle, there was no one, those Japanese soldiers who had the ability to move, no discomfort The net was broken, and they had to use grenades to pull on their backs when they died. Fortunately, the speed of the assault is fast enough, and the oil is enough. The Japanese troops there had already been cleaned up in the process of the anti-union charge, and before they had time to destroy it, they were kept by the fighters of the anti-United Nations.
Most of the supplies were left behind because the trucks did not start, and only a very small number of the trucks left the area under fire and managed to retreat to the rear and survive.
Even so, three-quarters of the supplies were left behind and were not shelled.
The battle is over. The shelling continued, just one or two guns were firing. And not very often.
Dong Ku had already heard on the walkie-talkie that it was a guard who had suffered some skin injuries on No. 6 and No. 7, and there should still be multiple bruises on his body, and the others were unscathed.
"Let's go, let's take a look, Lao Zhao, it's time for the plow army and all the truck drivers to go out. To clean up the battlefield there, it must be done as soon as possible, before dark, otherwise tomorrow will be difficult to say. ”
"Well, indeed. A long delay means many hitches. ”
Lao Zhao gave the order painfully, and let the transport army that had already been prepared be dispatched.
After cleaning up the remnants of the enemy on the battlefield, the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation divided a part of their strength and arranged the defense line to the end of the Japanese barracks to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking.
Materials, Lao Zhao didn't know how many Lu Dao there were, but Dong Ku knew it. He had personally seen the location of the material assembly, the camp, the food and all kinds of supplies were piled up, after all, the supply of more than 100,000 troops, not prepared for the last month, in case of heavy snowfall, wouldn't they want trouble?
When Lao Zhao saw the truckloads of supplies in several quartermaster assembly areas, the truckloads of rice and white flour, the truckloads of canned food, fish and meat, and the truckloads of shells, he was a little stupid. He knew the effect of the shelling, he had seen in the Qitai River that the round of artillery was a large area of thousands of Japanese soldiers missing, but none of these materials were shelled, not to mention that the roads cleared out of the snow were also blocked by bomb craters.
"Really where to fight......"
He didn't shy away from admiring. He thought that he would have some leftovers to make up for the expenses of the Dipina, and he was satisfied. I didn't expect there to be so many supplies.
Seeing that trucks began to roast the fire, and a large cauldron that was not damaged began to melt snow and boil water, Lao Zhao tried to calm himself down and said: "Dong Ku, it has only been more than three hours to end the battle, your artillery is too good, how can it be so accurate?" Otherwise, you bring those ......"
"Get ......"
When Dong Ku heard this, he didn't wait for Lao Zhao to come out, he hurriedly stopped and said: "Lao Zhao, I only use techniques, you have also seen these artillery, and the artillery training you selected is the same, but the proficiency, you will have at least two months in the future, at least until mid-March, there will be no trouble, this time is enough for you to train, as long as the intensity is reached, they can also do the bombardment so accurately and quickly." ”
"Okay......"
Lao Zhao swallowed the second half of his words unwillingly, and said with a change of words: "These materials can leave so much, and it is also your credit, let's say, what to transport to Harbin?" ”
"Ship what?"
Dong Ku glanced at the figures who were carrying grain on the plough and said: "Lao Zhao, I don't lack anything, with these, you can get through this spring famine, I don't want to come back and not even eat bud rice flour cakes, in this way, you may feel uncomfortable if you don't take something, I think so, all the materials here are divided into two categories, how about you and I take one of each?" ”
"One class each?"
Lao Zhao didn't mind Dong Ku going around in circles, he just didn't figure out how to classify it.
"Well, there are two categories here, food and military supplies are not counted, they all belong to you, and the rest are war materials, guns, trucks, tanks, etc., these, divided into two categories, you keep the good ones, the bad ones, all the damage belongs to me, and I want all the scrap metal on the battlefield."
"You want all the rags?"
Lao Zhao's black line, which one to choose from? If Dong Ku needed those things, he wouldn't leave a piece of iron slag, how could it be divided?
"Well, I just need to be in tatters, and I don't use the guns, but now I can't help you renew them, so you can keep them, and you can keep the shells, which is enough for you to fight two artillery battles, as for those rags, you can clean up the battlefield and help me send them to Harbin."
"Okay......"
Old Zhao Zhilu said that Dong Ku is wealthy, if you don't want it, you don't want it, as for transportation, it's all a trivial matter, his logistics army here doesn't want to be like Dong Ku, most of them spend money, suddenly this is free, and it's already good to give some food, it's all voluntary.
But more than three hours later, when he got the full list of supplies, he was not frightened by the massive amount of materials, but by thousands of tons of broken copper and iron.
Of the cannons, only about 30 were intact, 20 or so could be repaired, and the rest, nearly 400 cannons, all of which were heavy artillery, were all destroyed, and the most distressing thing for him was the more than 30 tanks, all of which were blown up by shelling in the camp, and none of them came out, all of them became scrap metal.
Dong Ku didn't mean to blow up the tank......
Lao Zhao was distressed and thought straight in his heart.
In fact, it was indeed ordered by Dong Ku to bombard, and it was three artillery positions, forty-five guns fired at one gun, and all of them were destroyed. If the tank is left, it will consume the iron fist of Lao Zhao, and the iron fist that Lao Zhao is looking for is only six or seven hundred, and it cannot be transported for the time being, and Harbin cannot produce it for the time being, so it is still more affordable to use artillery shells.
The speed of cleaning up the battlefield was very fast, with 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, plus 50,000 or 60,000 support troops, and the supplies flowed in a long line to the other side of the river and to Qiqihar.
The most excited are those ordinary people, many of them are witnesses of the last Jiangqiao battle, Ma Zhanshan fought fiercely, but only killed thousands of enemies, less than tens of thousands, and was defeated, had to withdraw, and today's Jiangqiao fought again, but to hold on to the fierce battle for a few days, and carried out a counterattack and won a great victory, the number of killed enemies they could not see, but a few large piles of smoke in the distance made them understand, it was by no means a fire that could be formed by 35,000 corpses. Coupled with the mountains of materials, it is enough to show how big this battle is.
While the common people were working, they were talking about the results of the battle, and their excitement was overflowing, but the Japanese army was setting off a monstrous wave at this time.
When Ichiro Yamazaki reported the fiasco to the commander of the Kwantung Army, 'Umezu Mijiro', 'Umezu Mijiro' was shocked.
Although there were not too many supplies transported there, after all, it was a supply of more than 100,000 people for a month, and the number of artillery pieces reached more than 600 pieces, so they were all thrown on the battlefield, didn't that increase the strength of the enemy!!
He quickly convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to resolve the immediate occupation, and he could not afford to fail, but for now, he would not be less stressed than his predecessor.
After urgent consultations and the synthesis of the information fed back from the front, the command decided to postpone the attack, block the news of the defeat, and wait for the planes to take off, and then attack again when there is air support and destroy the enemy's artillery positions. Fortunately, the other party did not plan to take advantage of the victory to pursue, otherwise, I am afraid that Tailai would be lost. There are a lot of materials hoarded there, and if they are lost, it will really hurt their muscles and bones.
Dong Ku did not know that his goal had been achieved, not only did he consume no less than 20,000 of the Japanese army's vital force, but also captured enough grain for Zhao Shangzhi to survive the spring famine, reducing his burden, and at the same time, the Japanese attack was delayed by at least two months.
Although Lao Zhao took the lives of more than 4,000 soldiers, the buffer period and materials in exchange were an absolute victory.
At this time, there is still one day left in his itinerary, he is about to return to Harbin, after the defense of Harbin is handed over to Shunzi and Liu Zhong, he will personally go to Hulin to give the big nose who is looking for an opportunity a little pain, in exchange for the peaceful two months...... (To be continued......)
