Chapter 73: Public Sacrifice (3)
In June of the 21st year of the Republic of China, in order to cooperate with the Japanese imperialists to invade and occupy Northeast China, 1,250 soldiers of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army led by Yoshie Kyiichi Nakasa, captain of the Korean border garrison, and 13 gendarmes led by the military police chief Ji Fang Torao, and at the same time divided troops to invade Ji'an and Linjiang in Hunjiang City, brutally suppressed the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians and killed innocent people. In more than half a year, the Japanese troops who invaded Ji'an and Linjiang burned down more than 800 civilian houses, fought 13 battles, killed more than 1,790 anti-Japanese volunteers, killed 155 innocent civilians, and arrested and tortured about 350 Chinese. In addition, more than 170 people were brutally killed by the Japanese army on charges of colluding with the anti-Japanese army, and three prisoners were killed. ”
"In October of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the first brigade of the 10th Infantry Wing of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, led the first brigade to attack Sandaowei to pursue and suppress the anti-Japanese guerrillas, but failed to find the guerrillas, and the residents of Sandaowei have also fled the village. Nakamura used the Xuanfu squad to deceive the people back, gathered men, women, and children, and killed them all with grenades and bayonets. The Japanese army also burned down about 16 houses in Sandaowei, 78 houses in Zhangziying, and 178 houses in Tuntianying, killing more than 63 innocent people. ”
"In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Liaoyuan Taipingzhuang built a mining bureau building, and the Japanese supervisor Yokota embezzled two months' wages of the workers, and the contractor Cao asked him, but Yokota did not give it, and went to the garrison to make false accusations. A few days later, one morning, before dawn, the Japanese garrison surrounded the Mining Bureau building, and when they entered the building, they arrested the contractor, father and son, and three others, and escorted them to a railroad patrol car. The car stopped at the south side of Taipingzhuang, then dragged them off the car, escorted them to the sorghum field on the west side of the train track, dug a large round pit, and buried all six people alive. ”
"On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, a lame regiment commander of the Japanese army led more than 100 people and horses to invade Sidaohezi. At dawn, the massacre began at the eastern end of the village. Wu Yujun, Jin Qunsan and other families were killed first; The old lady of the Cong family, who was blind, had her intestines picked out by the Japanese army with a bayonet in her abdomen, and before she died, she still held the hands of her two dead granddaughters, her 19-year-old son and the old Zou Tou'er, who was driving the car, were tied together, and they were each hit by three bullets in the head, dripping with blood, and their brains flowed, and they died tragically by the well in the center of the tun; The bachelor Lao Yintou was cooking dumplings and was stabbed by the Japanese army and died by the pot. The brutal Japanese soldiers drove the villagers to the wheat straw stacks, opened fire with machine guns, and carried out mass massacres. Li Yingshi, an underground worker in Hunchun County, and her daughter, as well as Wu Mingxue, an elderly man from Sandaohezi, were also brutally killed this time. After only an hour of bloodbathing, the houses in the village were reduced to ashes. After the Japanese army withdrew, the villagers of Sandaohezi rushed to Sidaohezi and rescued eight surviving Korean babies from the wheat straw stacks. In this massacre, the Japanese army killed a total of 57 innocent villagers, 16 of whom were killed by bayonets. ”
"Folks, have you all heard, what have these Japanese brutes done in China, and can they really survive as obedient people? The villagers still don't know what to say, the Japanese have a unit in Northeast China, the full name is Manchuria Unit 731, which is the code name of the Japanese invading army's bacteriological warfare agent factory. In order to cover people's eyes, Unit 731 disguised itself as a water purification unit. This unit is located in northeastern China, where they research and produce bacteriological weapons, and then transport them to the front line to be used on our soldiers, in this invasion of our Xinghe, the Japanese army used poison gas bombs many times, causing huge casualties to our army. ”
In addition, this group of bitches also carried out a large number of dehumanizing tests in the northeast, and they captured Chinese for vivisection, and these test bodies dissected by them were called "round wood" (pills), which means that we Chinese are in their eyes those specimens for them to test bacteriological weapons, and they are not people at all. ”
"It turns out that being obedient is the stupidest thing to do, which is tantamount to putting oneself on the chopping block to be slaughtered by others, and only resistance can be exchanged for real freedom. Do you know who the martyr I and the generals carried today is? Tell everyone, his name is Wang Zihan, his family lives on the bank of the Songhua River in Northeast China, after the 918 incident, he withdrew with the troops to Guannei, but thinking that the father of his hometown was suffering from hell, so he left the army with more than a dozen people, he came to Chahar to be a bandit, because he wanted to accumulate strength to fight devils, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his cottage had already pulled up nearly 2,000 troops, before the Japanese army brazenly attacked my Xinghe, he took the troops to join our 222 Division, and was appointed by me as the commander of the guard battalion, At the same time, he was ordered to take the guard battalion to Xinpingbao to block the Japanese reinforcements, the Japanese reinforcements arrived as scheduled, and more than 30,000 puppet troops took turns to attack the positions of the guard battalion, and the tanks and artillery attacked in turn, and the soldiers of the guard battalion did not retreat. In the battle, he was hit by shrapnel from the Japanese army, and a one-foot-long opening was opened in the abdomen, and even the intestines flowed out, he asked the hygienist to bandage him a little and then continued to direct the battle, and finally repelled the crazy attack of the Japanese army after eight hours of hard fighting, killing and wounding more than 10,000 Japanese puppet soldiers. However, he was infected by the bacteria on the Japanese gas bomb and died on the battlefield. He didn't need to die in the first place, and it was perfectly okay to send him back to the hospital for treatment of his injuries at that time, no one could say that he was a deserter, but he insisted on commanding the battle, and he used his life to perfectly interpret the duties of a soldier. ”
"Fellow villagers, we are Chinese, the descendants of Yan Huang, how can we allow these devils from the East to wreak havoc on our land. As long as we unite as one, unite as one, and build a new Great Wall with flesh and blood, all the Oriental Japanese will be wiped out. I wish the Chinese people long live, long live the Chinese nation, and may the War of Resistance be victorious! ”
With Chen Feng's words, tens of thousands of soldiers and people in front of the martyrs' cemetery shouted one after another: "Long live the Chinese people, long live the Chinese nation, the war of resistance will be won!" The slogan resounded throughout the world.
After the public memorial was over, Chen Feng met at the city defense headquarters with reporters from all over the country belonging to various political parties and social strata, including those of the Central News Agency, Xinhua Ribao affiliated with the Communist Party, Ta Kung Pao and Declaration, and provincial newspapers of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and other provinces.
At the press conference, Chen Feng was interviewed by the reporters, and at the same time, he also hoped to convey one of his hopes through the reporters' mouths, that is, he needs the support of the people of the whole country, he needs a large number of young people to join his troops, and he needs a large number of workers and peasants to work in Saibei.
The 222nd Division's public memorial meeting was surprisingly good, and the next day, newspapers and radio stations across the country rushed to report the incident, and all the reporters were full of praise for the 222nd Division and Chen Feng.
At seven o'clock in the evening of the 28th, officers above the brigade level of the 222nd Division held a meeting at the city defense headquarters, which was the first military meeting of the 222nd Division after the end of the war.
When Chen Feng walked into the venue, it was already full of people, perhaps just passing through the public sacrifice, so the mood of these officers was not very high, and they were far less active than before.
Seeing Chen Feng walk into the conference room, the people quickly stood up to greet him.
"Sit, are you all here, do you have any leave?" Chen Feng asked.
"It's all here, no one is asking for leave!" Chief of Staff Yang Yi got up and replied.
"Now that we are all here, let's get started, Chief of Staff, and let me inform you of the losses of our army in this battle." Chen Feng said.
Yang Yi opened the folder on the conference table and read aloud: "Although our army has achieved major results, its own losses are also extremely heavy, with 7,129 killed, 8,133 wounded, and 82 missing, totaling 15,344 people. In addition, the city was bombed by Japanese bombers, and many houses were damaged. ”
"Tell me about the achievements of our army again!" Chen Feng said again.
"Our army killed 15,234 Japanese soldiers, 4,397 puppet soldiers, 803 Japanese soldiers, and 12,896 puppet soldiers, totaling 33,330 people. They seized 21,661 38 large covers, 2,101 medium formal rifles, 12,991 Type 44 mounted guns, 148 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 421 crooked light machine guns, 277 grenadiers, 89 mortars, 21 75 mountain guns, 38,745 steel helmets, 13,211 war horses, 1,388 horses, more than 40,000 sets of military uniforms and cotton clothes, and more than 10 vehicles of various military supplies. In addition, two Japanese tanks, 62 automobiles, more than 500,000 catties of grain, more than 2.8 million oceans, more than 20,000 taels of gold, more than 9 million legal currency, a number of foreign currencies, and three cars of antique calligraphy, painting, and jewelry were also captured. In addition, a very large field hospital of the Japanese army was captured, and doctors and nurses, as well as various medical equipment and medicines, were all transported back. ”
After a little relief, Yang Yi continued: "The reason why so many weapons, equipment and materials can be captured this time is due to the fact that the special combat team has made a lot of contributions, it is precisely because they infiltrated Zhangbei County before the cavalry group broke through Zhangbei County, and quickly controlled the defenders of the warehouses in the city, so that they could not burn the materials in the unfavorable situation of the battle, otherwise our capture would have to be reduced by at least half." ”
After Yang Yi sat down, Chen Feng spoke: "Everyone has seen the strength of the elite troops of the Japanese army in this battle, we have an absolute superiority in troops, and the cooperation of new weapons, coupled with the detailed arrangements in advance, we still suffered more than 15,000 casualties after the fight to the top before we completely annihilated this puppet army and the Japanese puppet army of the Japanese army, so please remember in the future that the Japanese army is not a chicken, and you must not underestimate the enemy." ”
"But anyway, we won this battle, and we won the beautiful one, so everyone should be happy. Now I would like to announce the order of the Nationalist Government, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government, that the 222nd Division will be immediately upgraded to a first-class division, and the troops will be expanded from two brigades and four regiments to three brigades and six regiments, plus a number of directly subordinate troops, with a total of 18,644 men in the division. With immediate effect, Chen Feng was promoted to lieutenant general of the National Revolutionary Army, awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, and all officers and men of the department were promoted to the first rank. ”
As soon as Chen Feng's words fell, warm applause rang out in the conference room. But what I said is also that it is common sense to be happy or not to be promoted and rich.
