Chapter 71—The Battle of Matang (18)
The sky was slightly bright, and on a dirt road in Leijiazui, Changling, Lin Haifeng and Guo Dai took the lead and ran hard, and behind them, Zhou Xingqiao and more than 100 others followed closely. After a few days of implementation, some progress has finally been made so far, and in this way, Guo Dai's identity has been completely exposed. Now, he and Lin Haifeng are evading the pursuit of the Japanese army with the "Taiwanese soldiers" who have just gone anyway.
The rebellion of Guo Dai and others did not attract the attention of Xiaolin's awakening at first. And by the time he reacted, Guo Dai and the others had successfully persuaded a group of people. And because of the defection of this group of people, there was an undercurrent within the Potian detachment, and now, Kobayashi Awakening could no longer believe any Taiwanese officers and soldiers. In the Hatian detachment, there was only one brigade of gendarmes composed entirely of Japanese, and since the Taiwanese could not count on it, they could only send a gendarmerie brigade to pursue them. Lin Haifeng and Guo Dai had been playing hide-and-seek with the Japanese military police for three hours, but as the sky grew brighter, now, this game could not be played.
Guo Dai's range of activities in the Botian detachment was still a little weaker, and the time was tight, so after two days of activity, he only persuaded more than 100 people. Of course, in Lin Haifeng's opinion, this is enough. Taiwanese have been domesticated by the Japanese for too long, and it is debatable how many people still remember their identity as Chinese. These Taiwanese appeared on the mainland as conquerors, and when they found that the mainland was far inferior to Taiwan, their China complex was even weaker, and in this case, it was not easy to make a breakthrough so quickly. "It doesn't matter how many people there are, as long as it can make the Japanese no longer dare to believe in the Taiwanese soldiers, this is enough!" This is what Chen Shichang said when he planned the "Double Cao Plan", which came to Lin Haifeng's ears through secret channels, and after this period of personal experience, he thought it was true.
When Guo Dai was still Chun Ichiro, in the eyes of the Japanese, he was a great obedient people, and he was qualified to be called a warrior under His Majesty the Emperor. However, when he chose to point his gun at the Japanese, his performance was no different from that of any student soldier on the battlefield of Madang. Privately, when a brother who was close to him asked him why he had changed so much, he smiled coldly and said, "When I was a soldier for the Japanese, I was just forced to be helpless to survive." Now, Lao Tzu is a real anti-Japanese fighter, hum, the Japanese occupy my homeland and destroy my ancestral hall, what a great hatred is this? How? Do you still miss the days when you were a second-class Japanese? ”
The Japanese soldiers had military trucks and motorcycles to travel, and since the sky was slightly bright, and their vision improved, they quickly caught up with them. Lin Haifeng relied on his familiarity with the place, and after leading everyone around for a few laps, he finally couldn't get rid of it, at this time, he and Guo Dai both understood that a battle was inevitable.
"There's a hill ahead, and it's good for defense, so let's fight there!" Lin Haifeng gasped violently and said to Guo Dai.
"Listen to you!" Guo Dai didn't talk nonsense.
Lin Haifeng glanced behind him, although the soldiers behind him were still the so-called imperial army yesterday, but since they discarded the fart curtain, they have become anti-log soldiers, and now, although everyone feels the danger, there is no fear on their faces. The first batch anyway, they all regarded themselves as Chinese in their hearts, and their parents and even grandparents did not lack anti-Japanese fighters, and in their opinion, the anti-Japanese at the moment was just following the path of their ancestors.
A hillside overgrown with trees appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Lin Haifeng rushed up first, and then stood aside and said: "Brothers, we will fight here, everyone rest assured, I have contacted the guerrillas of Taihu Lake, and they will come to support us!" We're not fighting alone! ”
The hours-long rush was a great test for the Taiwan soldiers, who were accustomed to sitting on military cards, and many of them immediately sat down on the ground after entering the back of the hillside, gasping for breath and groaning at the same time. Everyone's soles of their feet were blistered, and now, once they stopped, the soles of their feet hurt so much that many people couldn't pay attention to the pursuers behind them.
"Get up, get up, don't take off your shoes! The Japanese are behind them, they are catching up, brothers, do you still want to go back to Taiwan alive? Then get ready for battle! Brothers, we have already committed too many sins with the Japanese, and now is the time to atone for them! Brothers, in an hour at most, the Taihu guerrillas will come to our aid! Brothers, if we kill the devils of the gendarmerie brigade, other people in the Chaling base camp will join our team, and when our team grows, brothers, we will have a greater chance of going back to Taiwan! Guo Dai walked past everyone who was sitting on the ground or taking off his shoes and touching his feet, kicked them one by one, and said so.
"Brother Guo, are there really reinforcements?" It was Chen Laifu who asked this. Chen Laifu usually doesn't talk much, but he is very shrewd, and this question is very critical.
When Lin Haifeng and Guo Dai talked about reinforcements just now, many people didn't listen. Chen Laifu asked this very loudly, and many people turned their attention to Guo Dai. Guo Dai didn't blink his eyes, and said affirmatively: "Of course, the Taihu guerrillas, Brother Lin contacted him the day before yesterday. Brother Lin, this is the place you made an appointment to meet them, right? ”
Lin Haifeng was even more human, and immediately picked up the conversation and nodded, "Yes." I said that there were a group of Taiwanese soldiers anyway, and I hoped to get their help, and Huang Laiying, the captain of the Taihu guerrillas, agreed without saying a word, and they also said that if you have a request, they will find a way to help you cross the river to Jiangnan. ”
Those who can be persuaded by Guo Dai and others at one time are basically out of the way to life and death. However, in the face of three times the Japanese army, and it is also an elite military police, it is impossible to be afraid in your heart. Anyway, everyone came out in a hurry, and they couldn't bring out heavy weapons, and there were not many bullets, no more than sixty, with this bit of guns and ammunition, in the face of the Japanese military police who might have mortars, everyone thought that they would definitely be defeated, and they were very likely to die here, so morale inevitably fell into a slump. At this time, the reinforcements in Lin Haifeng's mouth were undoubtedly a stimulant.
The Taihu guerrillas are the most advanced troops, although they have not been established for a long time, but they have already made a name for themselves in Taihu Lake. Hearing that this team, which made Xiao Li wake up with a headache, came back to support him, the fighting spirit of the soldiers jumped up, and many people immediately lifted their spirits and began to prepare nervously for the battle.
"Stop!" Aramura Taisheng Shaozo waved his right hand and shouted, and Yoshizu Yoshino, who was sitting on his right hand, immediately stepped on the foot brake, and at the same time turned off the fire and hung up the neutral. The motorcycle and the truck that followed the three-wheeled motorcycle stopped one after another, and an officer asked, "Aramura-kun, why did you stop?" ”
"The rebels have stopped, prepare to attack!"
"Hay!" The Japanese soldiers began to jump off the military cards one by one, and soon more than 300 gendarmes were lined up in small formations into ten small phalanxes.
Deserted Village Taisheng walked in front of everyone, first glanced at everyone, and then said: "Your Excellency the detachment leader, you must deal with this group of rebels as soon as possible, but if possible, try to capture them alive." Gentlemen, please remember that they are now rebels and not our enemies, so if you are fighting, please try to keep your emotions in check. ”
"Hay!"
"Then, Changjiu, shout to them to surrender!"
"Hay!"
The reason why Aramura Taisheng should pay special attention to the previous sentence is because in the eyes of Xiao Li Awakening and other Hatian detachment executives, the reason why this rebel incident happened was because the gendarmerie was too strict in enforcing the law. Considering that several people had died in this incident, and he was worried that they would take the opportunity to take revenge and kill everyone, Kobayashi would make a special note about how the deserted village was going to be.
Xiao Lin did this, in fact, it was also a helpless move. Eighty-five percent of the soldiers in the Potian detachment were Taiwanese. Once this matter is not handled carefully, no matter whether there will be another mutiny in the future, then the Hatian detachment will lose its combat effectiveness. The Japanese army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was not very strong, and Okamura Ninji still had high hopes for the Habata detachment, so Kobayashi did not dare to take too tyrannical measures to deal with this matter, even if it was only for his personal future. Kobayashi's ideal method of dealing with it is to capture the mutinous soldiers alive as much as possible, and then take measures to make them repent, so that the hearts of the Taiwanese soldiers can be restored.
Guo Dai and the others didn't know that Xiao Lin still wanted to take gentle measures against them. Just when the gendarmes were lining up on the hillside, he said to Lin Haifeng: "It's a pity, if there is a cannon, how many people can be killed by this cannon in the past!" ”
Lin Haifeng smiled: "There will be artillery, as long as you return to the Cadet Army, not to mention artillery, it is a tank, as long as you can drive it, you have it." ”
Guo Dai has always had prejudices about the student army, so as long as Lin Haifeng seizes the opportunity, he will instill in him the idea that the student army is strong and the student army is good. And unconsciously, Guo Dai is not too disgusted with defecting to the student army now.
At this moment, Changbao shouted below: "Listen to the soldiers on the mountain, Your Excellency the detachment commander has said that as long as you lay down your arms and are willing to realize your mistakes, you will not be held accountable for your rebellion." Ladies and gentlemen, the people of His Majesty the same Emperor, return to the embrace of the Imperial Army—"
“****!” Before he finished speaking, Chen Laifu aimed at him and fired a shot.
"Bang" a gunshot, because of the distance of nearly 800 meters, Chen Laifu's shot did not hit Chang Changbao, but it also startled him, and the following words were scared back into his stomach.
Guo Dai happened to know Changbao, he poked his head out and shouted: "Dog's Changbao, you are a fool to us?" Don't say that we are anyway, we are deserters, is there a way to survive if we are caught? You don't even blink an eye when you lie! With a wave of his hand, he suddenly roared: "Brothers, kill him with good marksmanship!" ”
Chang Bao's shouting actually aroused the interest of some people, but Guo Dai's voice reminded them of the strict military law of the Japanese army, and some people who were still fantasizing had the courage to face the reality.
"Smack!" The gunshots rang out, but Chang Bao couldn't keep shouting.
The battle has begun!
