Chapter 168: Humanity

This battle, which lasted several days, was planned by Dong Ku for a long time, and he began to plan at the beginning of winter according to the habits and tactical qualities of the Japanese army remembered by later generations.

The advantage of the Japanese army is that they are good at positional warfare, and digging trenches is particularly powerful due to the impact of World War I, and they are difficult to gnaw in the season when they can break ground. In addition, the personal physical strength of the Eighth Route Army was too far from that of the Japanese army, the quality of individual soldiers was not at the same level, the artillery possessed was only mortars, because it was a curved fire, it was difficult to blow up the trenches with roofs on it, there were no weapons to effectively deal with the enemy's tanks, there was no support from aircraft, and there was a lack of ammunition, so the war would be a loss.

Take the Battle of the Hundred Regiments as an example, at the beginning, under the strict order of General Peng, Chen Geng and Liu Bocheng of the Eighth Route Army lost more than 2,000 people, only a few people remained in a battalion, and some companies were all heroic, and they failed to eat a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army, only 280 corpses and several piles of ashes were found on the position, and the remnants of the Japanese army were rescued and escaped.

Relying on numbers to fight against the Japanese army, which had sufficient ammunition, sophisticated weapons, and superior personal combat quality, it was of course impossible to win the war easily, so Dong Ku was quite strict when training his troops. In addition, the Japanese army is not good at snow warfare, otherwise, they would have entered the Soviet Union without spending huge manpower and material resources, and secretly dug tunnels under the river to prepare for a sneak attack.

Since 918, the Japanese army in the northeast except for the battle of Jiangqiao in Ma Zhanshan has suffered relatively large losses, has not encountered decent resistance, after entering Heilongjiang, in the severe cold situation has not fought a big battle, therefore, for the snow march and snow combat experience is quite lacking, especially for the smoke cannon, but also the smoke cannon gale together, just retreat in the camp until the wind stops.

In order to transfer the Japanese army out, he besieged the Third Division and burned all the heating firewood in the camp, so that the Japanese army would rush to help at all costs, and fell into the smoke and cannons that had not stopped, and his hands and feet were frostbitten, and it was difficult to protect himself, let alone fight.

As for the mining area, Dong Ku had already designed to burn the company camp, so when he had just taken the mining area, the mountain artillery had already been transported to the designated position for test firing, and the traces were covered by the snow in a few days; More than 100 wooden temporary barracks that can accommodate more than 3 or 400 people were added to the camp, and the original more than 100 buildings were enough to accommodate more than 100,000 Japanese troops. At the same time, the camp was surrounded by dry firewood, and the drums were buried under which the lids were cut off and watered with snow to cover the smell of oil, and the snow in the open space of the camp was piled up into large piles, and the oil drums were also buried under the full oil and uncovered.

When the Japanese entered the mining area, it was already dark, so naturally there was no time to study others, coupled with the superiority in numbers, the defense range was outside the range of the 92 infantry guns, and no traces of snow were found around the mountain beams, so they did not know that there were mountain guns on the top of the mountain that were enough to kill them.

The fierceness of the battle far exceeded Dong Ku's estimate, as the Japanese reinforcements continued to flow, the pressure became more and more intense, so that more than 30,000 Oroqen soldiers were injured and most of them were injured, and less than half of his old foundation could fight, and only a few hundred of the newly established independent brigade of more than 3,000 people were left to fight. In order to be able to eat all the Japanese troops, he asked Zhao Shangzhi of Zhuhe County to lead more than 20,000 people from all the new and old anti-Japanese alliances to come to help, but fortunately, everything went well, and most of the Japanese troops were successfully burned to death, and the fighting spirit of the Japanese army was broken, so far it was a complete victory.

This is not because the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is not good, but because Dong Ku's side is calculating step by step, and the quality of weapons and equipment far exceeds that of the Japanese army, and most of the positions are held by grenadiers and machine guns. With such a dense and prepared attack, let alone the Japanese army, it is difficult for all the troops to meet this standard of combat effectiveness.

If the Eighth Route Army was given 300 rounds of ammunition per person, the 38 cover with the same range as the Japanese army, and the rifle rifle line was not smoothed, two machine guns per squad, more than 100 grenadiers in the position, and an iron fist to destroy tanks and armored vehicles, plus long-range sniping and semi-automatic, the result of the battle would be even more brilliant than that of the advance army.

In terms of movement, the speed of the Japanese army is far inferior to the advance army, they trek on the snow, and they can't walk a few meters in a minute, on the other hand, the advance army, whether it is the Oroqen soldiers, or the old team of Weihu Mountain, they will ski, resulting in the Japanese army not even being able to catch the shadow of the soldiers who are blocking in the mountains and forests, and it is naturally difficult to move an inch when breaking through the blocking position in the case of being passively beaten.

In the cold wind, under the illumination of the flames, the battlefield was cleaned very quickly, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the second line of positions had been collected by themselves, stretching and covering a large open space, and the original plan was to wait for dawn before cremation.

After the battlefield was cleaned, it was already the most severe cold in the second half of the night, and the Japanese army was not bad near the scorching fire that was still burning, and was not disturbed by the severe cold. Although the temperature was very good, they had no intention of sleeping, one was impossible to sit on the wetlands where the snow had melted, and the other was that they were frustrated at this time why they disarmed and did not fight to the death.

Just as their mood began to fluctuate, a group of young soldiers came over with bags of rice, a hug of dry firewood, and a stack of lunch boxes.

"Which one is Lieutenant General Tani Shofu?" A young warrior asked in Japanese.

None of the surrounding Japanese responded to the question, but they looked at the position near the center of the crowd.

The soldier didn't care, and shouted loudly at the position in Japanese: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, after a long night's work, our chief has sent rice and dry firewood to you and your soldiers in the spirit of humanity, please arrange for someone to pick it up!" ”

"Food?"

"And firewood......"

The Japanese army was buzzing and talking, and the mood that had just fluctuated calmed down again, and it was a little bit of a acceptance of the facts in front of them.

Gu Shoufu walked out in the escort of a group of Dazuo, Zhongzuo, and Shaozuo, he calmly came to the soldiers who spoke, looked at the young faces carrying grain and holding dry firewood, bowed deeply, stood up straight and said, "Hard work." ”

The soldier politely replied with a salute and said, "Your Excellency, the conditions are relatively poor, there is not much dry firewood, and most of the cooking utensils have been left in the fire, you and your soldiers should first use these pickles and rice to satisfy their stomachs, and when they get to the camp, everything will be fine." As he spoke, he handed the dried fish and dried meat in his hand to the two big ones who came out with Gu Shoufu.

Soon, piles of bonfires were lit. There were very few guards around the Japanese army, so they were allowed to go to the burning fire to get fire and bring buckets of well water. The smell of rice also wafted after ten minutes......

General Zhao waited for the last team of personnel to go on the road, and he saluted with a standard salute and said gratefully: "Zhao is for the people of the Northeast and for the people of the whole of China, Xie Lu and General Dong's generosity!" ”

Dong Ku replied with a smile and said: "Just a few hundred thousand oceans and seventy or eighty thousand guns will make General Zhao not calm, you must know that in a month, this number will be doubled, I am afraid that you will not have anyone there by then." ”

"Ha Lu Ha! If you have a gun or a cannon, you don't have to worry! ”

General Zhao did not doubt it at all, and it was only then that he vaguely guessed the approximate number of Japanese troops annihilated in this battle. In addition to being shocked, he was even more confident in driving the Japanese out of the country.

"What a fierce general......"

General Zhao left under the escort of the guard platoon, muttering to himself on the way.

The pacification of those puppet soldiers was very simple, after Xing Yuan used Dong Kujiao's hatred to arouse their hatred for the Japanese, he threw out ten oceans of military salary in a timely manner, 15 bereavement pensions for the disabled, and 300 oceans for the dead, these puppet soldiers from poor people wore military uniforms one after another, received 38 big covers, and injected fresh blood into the independent brigade.

After Dong Ku sent General Zhao away, he arranged the task and led the fourteen Oroqen soldiers of the guards to the Japanese army who had finished eating and were sitting on dry firewood to rest.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, after the battle, my side is not manpower enough to collect the remains of your soldiers, in order to avoid exposing the corpses of the wilderness and the plague to break out again in the spring of the next year, now please cremate your fallen soldiers, but there is no time to cremate each of them alone, so ......" said Dong Ku, pointing to the still burning sea of fire.

Gu Shoufu was very moved, there are not many people who can make the enemy collect the remains, and they pay special attention to this piece, Dong Ku got his respect At the same time, he didn't even think about it, so he gave the order.

Groups of Japanese troops, guarded by small numbers, dispersed and carried the bodies towards the fire, as billowing smoke and a scorched stench drifted rapidly in the north wind.

For two hours, the Japanese carried all the remains on the battlefield, regardless of which side, into the fire.

The sky was also cloudy at this moment, and the north wind became more and more fierce in the early morning, and the smoke was billowing everywhere. Because the fire site became an incineration site, the pungent stench people could not approach it at all, causing these Japanese soldiers to shiver in the north wind one by one and were reluctant to approach the fire.

In the north wind, Dong Ku walked briskly, found Gu Shoufu and said: "Your Excellency, the withdrawal to our camp has to be postponed due to the increasing wind, it is estimated that we will stay for at least one day, I don't want to carry frostbitten prisoners on the way to the march, so please arrange for your soldiers to enter the only place where they can keep warm at this time." ”

Gu Shoufu looked at the mine behind the coal pile in the distance in the direction of Dong Ku's finger, and then looked back at the soldiers who were already blue from the cold, and shrunk their heads and hands, and he knew that this was indeed the only way to solve the problem of keeping so many of them warm. It's no longer realistic to build houses, even the enemies are setting up improvised shacks in the leeward side, and they're ......

"You're an opponent I respect, so I'll arrange it."

Gu Shoufu bowed, turned around and gave the order.

Dong Ku explained to the guards next to him when Gu Shoufu gave the order, and not long after he left, when the Japanese army walked towards the mine, a generator roared, and then the lights in the mine came on.

"It doesn't seem like there will be a problem......"

Gu Shoufu, who was still apprehensive just now, breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of Dong Ku and watched the soldiers enter the mine.

The mine was guarded by only two young soldiers, with their guns on their backs, apparently not worried about them escaping, or rather not strictly guarded.

When the last Japanese army entered the mine, Dong Ku, who accompanied Gu Shoufu towards the mine, stopped and said, "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I will now fulfill my promise and tell you everything you want to know about the road. ”

Gu Shoufu took a deep breath and looked at Dong Ku without squeaking.

Dong Ku said in a calm tone: "Your opponents have always been Chinese soldiers, Jiamusi, Dahe Town, Baoqing, all of which were done by the Chinese's own troops, there was no Soviet Russian squad, and there was no one from beginning to end." ”

"You lied !!"

Gu Shoufu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what Dong Ku said.

"Originally, I just wanted to divert your attention to Soviet Russia, and it was better to misfire so that I could have time to form my troops, but unfortunately you are calm enough."

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!! How could the invincible and excellent soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire be defeated by you Shina!! You're lying!!! Dong Ku's calm voice made Gu Shoufu roar, still unable to believe that this was true.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, please, I will fulfill my promise to send you back to your hometown, so that you can return to your hometown."

Gu Shoufu's mind was blank, his eyes stared blankly, his legs moved mechanically, and he kept muttering: "This can't be... This is a lie...... It's a conspiracy ......"
