Chapter 749 Human Shield
In the cold night, Dong Ku's army, except for Changchun and Jilin's troops who continued to clear the remnants of the Japanese army, the rest of the army rushed to Gongzhuling to rest, waiting for the attack tomorrow morning.
And Liu Canghao was stationed in Changchun, and he received at least 300,000 puppet Manchurian troops. These units are relatively backwardly equipped, poorly trained, and do not have a strong sense of combat, and there are also guys with a lot of evil deeds and bad habits. And Liu Canghao was reluctant to have so many ready-made troops, and he was reluctant to dismiss them.
For this reason, Liu Canghao had no choice but to break up the troops that had been trained and formed and whose combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of the advance army, and the new recruits and veterans were mixed together to rest and recuperate.
For this reason, in view of the fact that Liu Canghao's troops had handed over all the captured materials along the way, he gave Liu Canghao most of the hard currency such as dollars, pounds, and silver dollars obtained from Xinjing, and handed over all the weapons of the Japanese soldiers captured in Changchun and Jilin to him. But it was not just for him to be stationed on the spot for training, Dong Ku gave Liu Canghao those old and young people who were delusional about restoration, including Pu Yi, and he persuaded and educated them to save these guys who couldn't keep up with social development.
At this point, Liu Canghao broke away from the offensive sequence, gave up the plan to attack Tongliao, and began to rest in Changchun.
And Mo Rigen, in the icy and snowy forest, there are helicopter reconnaissance all the way, their attack speed is not slow, but how is it on foot, besides, there is never heavy weapons and aircraft support, at the end of the Changchun Campaign, they only hit Luojin, the other army is still some distance away from the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, and has not crossed the high mountains there.
Dong Ku was worried about the Japanese army in Shandong, as long as Lao Zhao contained the main force of the Japanese army, he would be able to destroy more elite Japanese troops. As for Lao Zhao's power generation, Huang Baitao's army assisted in the attack on Shandong, and he didn't think much about it. No matter what they think, as long as they attack, they can contain the strength of the Japanese army, even if they help him.
So, just after dawn, the army began to eat breakfast, and it was all meat. Prepare for today's day of physical attack.
The Japanese army retreated on all fronts after the arrival of Dongku's army at Gongzhuling, and had already retreated back to Siping and Liaoyuan, where they were preparing to resist the attack of the advance army.
The advance reconnaissance unit had already arrived at the attacking position in the middle of the night, and they loved you to give a thorough understanding of the Japanese defense line. There, the effectiveness of the shooting to, the shelling for half an hour, absolutely took Siping and the outer positions, helicopters cooperated. It is easy to lay the high ground, and it is enough to attack four draws in one day. Taking Siping, occupying Kaiyuan Tieling will no longer be a resistance, and Shenyang, it will be possible to reach its peripheral positions in two days.
Early in the morning, as soon as the troops finished eating, Lao Chiang's radio rang.
The radio announced to the whole country that the battle was fierce for two days. It recovered most of the territory east of Taiyuan and wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese troops. It is pursuing the Japanese army in the direction of Taiyuan, and will soon recapture too far, attack Shuozhou and Datong, recover Baotou, and eliminate the remnants of the Japanese army.
Dong Ku listened to the radio in the headquarters and said with a smile: "How long is it in the day, I'm afraid it's him for half a year and a year." ”
"Yes. It's going to be a show. ”
Sun Tao said disdainfully.
Before his words fell, the front suddenly reported, saying that a tricycle of Japanese soldiers was driving with a white flag, and that it was a messenger.
Dong Ku said without looking back: "Kill!" ”
Sun Tao did not hesitate and ordered directly. Kill those three Japanese soldiers.
Emissary? Want to play tricks with me and have a truce to get a respite?
Dong Ku didn't know that the Japanese army was in a hurry to retreat now, although Shenyang was not as rich as Changchun, and the construction was good, but the Japanese did not invest less energy there, even if it was not built in Shenyang, it was also a heavy industrial city, and most of the strength of the Japanese army came from the arms donated by Xiao Zhang and the Krupp military factory. Coupled with the full commitment of the Japanese army in the later period, it was already the country's leading industrial city.
And the Japanese army just wants to take the opportunity to take more things, whether it is transported back to the mainland or North Korea, it can prevent their military industry from being severely damaged, and can shorten the chance of a comeback.
Dong Ku will not talk about anything with the Japanese, even if he talks about surrender, it is not necessary, he will not let the Japanese army declare defeat and surrender, he will kill all these demons.
This episode did not affect the march of the army, and after breakfast, the army set off. Tanks and armored infantry vehicles emitted black smoke and raised a cloud of snow and mist on the white ground, and under the escort of helicopters, they left Gongzhuling and advanced towards Siping.
Dong Ku also sat in the command car, and the command headquarters moved forward.
As soon as the army moved, news came from the Qu Jungang Department at the outpost that the Sharp Knife Regiment had found three unarmed Japanese soldiers holding white flags in front.
Still coming?
Dong Ku did not hesitate at all, and gave a brief order: "Kill!" Not a single one! I don't have time to talk nonsense with them, and I'll talk about it when I kill them all! ”
"Yes!"
Qu Jun just gladly accepted the order.
As the army rumbled, the corpses of three Japanese soldiers were gradually getting cold in the snow pits on the side of the road, and the tricycles were ridden by the soldiers and used as a means of transportation.
As time passed, there were a few more corpses on the side of the road, all of them messengers holding white flags. And Qu Jungang even saved the report this time, he ordered that all the Japanese soldiers were killed when he saw it in front, and there was no need to report. However, there were more than a dozen motorcycles in the team, which were ridden by the soldiers who had nothing to do.
The two countries did not fight each other, and it did not work at all in Dong Ku, where did Dong Ku have the leisure to talk nonsense with the Japanese army?
And the Japanese army seems to be determined to negotiate, even if they are constantly killed, there are still Japanese soldiers who come on motorcycles, and they are all white flags and do not carry weapons.
But these did not affect the march of the army in the slightest, and those so-called messengers had already been shot by the sharp knife regiment that had opened the way in front, and the regiment that Qu Jun had just led himself, in the case of a photo, did not even give the Japanese a chance to speak.
After an hour of marching, more than 60 kilometers and nearly 20 kilometers, it is about to enter the range of long-range artillery. At this point, the long-range artillery will fire first, and then the self-propelled artillery will continue to move forward, bombarding accurate targets at close range, so that the enemy's artillery cannot fight back, after all, the artillery of small Japan has a range of 20 kilometers for 150 heavy cannons, and the others are about 15 kilometers.
But at this time, the army suddenly stopped, and then Qu Jungang's call rang out.
Dong Ku heard Qu Jungang's report in the command car, and his face was immediately full of anger. The muscles on his face jumped, and a thick murderous aura erupted.
Zuo Boyang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, captain?" ”
Sun Tao and Liu Zhong were also stunned, they rarely saw Dong Ku so out of control. When they saw the slaughter of the small village on the mountain, they felt the cold and piercing murderous aura of Dong Kun, when the people who fled from Baoqing were burned to death by the fire, and after the Nanjing Massacre, they felt it, and at this time, it was obvious that a similar situation had happened.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Dong Ku didn't explain, and said with a gloomy face.
Seeing that Dong Ku was reluctant to speak, several people did not ask again, and then the command vehicle left the convoy and galloped forward along the road to catch up with the vanguard.
Ten minutes later, the command car stopped in the middle of the army, and several people got out of the car and walked forward on foot.
When you get here, you can't rush to drive there, in case the Japanese army discovers the command vehicle and comes to a hidden place with heavy artillery, it will wrap them around.
Dong Ku and the others soon came to a sign blocked by tanks and armored vehicles. There were three corpses kneeling next to the signs, all of whom had committed suicide by seppuku, blood staining the surrounding snow. Next to them stood a one-meter-square sign, pasted with paper, like a target.
Walking up to the sign, which had been checked to confirm that there were no bombs, several people looked at the text written on it.
It reads: Your Excellency, Commander of the Advance Army, Chief of Staff of Major General Imamura Jun who adheres to Siping salutes you! We are all soldiers, and soldiers cannot hurt civilians in battle, and as a soldier, I believe Your Excellency agrees with that. I have also heard that Your Excellency loves civilians deeply, and in order to pay tribute to Your Excellency, I specially invited local civilians to watch the battle on the outlying positions of Siping, hoping that we will show the prestige of soldiers and let civilians see the demeanor of soldiers.
In order to avoid civilian damage, I specially asked the soldiers to protect them, the first batch of spectators was 5,000 people, according to the situation of the battle, I will increase to 10,000 in the next batch, and so on, until all the 150,000 civilians in Siping City watched the battle.
The inscription reads Imamura and is stamped with the large seal of the Guards Division.
"Grass mud horse, little devil!!"
Liu Zhong came up angrily after reading it.
Sun Tao's face was pale, and his teeth creaked.
Zuo Boyang's eyes were also wide with anger, and he was extremely angry.
Qu Jungang stood next to him and didn't say a word, but he was obviously angry to the extreme. The fire in his eyes said it all.
Dong Ku took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered: "Helicopter forward, pay attention to the air defense of the Japanese army, find out the situation of the Japanese position, and suspend the advance of the army!" ”
With the order, the hovering helicopter roared away and rushed straight to Siping in front. The army, on the spot, made a defense, waiting for the results of the reconnaissance.
In fact, sending out reconnaissance is not that Dong Ku does not believe it, but to see how the Japanese army got it, the position of civilians in the position, so as to formulate an offensive plan.
He knows the Japanese too well, the Japanese are just beasts, what can't he do? In order to buy time for the evacuation of the Shenyang army, let alone use the people as meat shields, even if the people are mixed in with them, it is normal.
At this time, since the Japanese army had decided to retreat on all fronts, they could do anything, and Dong Ku had no doubt that this Imamura could do such evil things.
As a result, the artillery fire of the advance army could not be used, and the attack was a problem. In the face of the common people on the battlefield, let alone Dong Ku, even the soldiers can't shoot!
"The captain is right, the Japanese deserve to die!!"
Sun Tao held his breath for a long time, and finally cursed. (To be continued......)
