One hundred and sixty-eighth chapter Major General Black Rock's Elegy (5)
No one, whether it was Sawada Shigeru, Kobayashi Asaburo, or even Doihara Kenji, who was furious at Yuhara County because of Sawada Shigeru's delay in returning reinforcements, thought that Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu would actually withdraw on the night of the Fourth Division.
He was killed in action. [.Com text] What’s even more outrageous is that Colonel Taro Kawama, captain of the 44th Regiment of the 11th Division who survived the sudden attack, insisted that the person who attacked the major general was the 4th Division.
people.
Because they picked up the IDs of the people from the Fourth Division who were left to assist Major General Kuroiwa in the attack at the scene of the attack. And the sentries of the 44th Regiment on duty that night also insisted that those who claimed to be the liaison staff of the Fourth Division
The attackers must be from the Fourth Division. Because these officers all wear at least three gold rings on their fingers, and they wear high-end hand-sewn military uniforms even when they are fighting on the front lines. They pose a
Quite wealthy and noble.
Among the various divisions of the Japanese army, only the officers of the Fourth Division were so wealthy. After working with the Fourth Division for these days, the officers and soldiers of the 44th Regiment were no longer surprised by the wealth of the people in the Fourth Division.
The anti-Manchu anti-Japanese armed forces who were so poor and almost going crazy were not so generous as to wear a few gold rings at once. More importantly, at the scene of the attack, the security personnel of the 44th Regiment picked up a copy of the Fourth
The identification of the division clearly showed the identity of the attacker.
After communicating with the personnel left behind by the Fourth Division to cooperate in the operation, it was found that these people were indeed among the troops left behind by the Fourth Division. Moreover, these people were indeed sent to the 44th Regiment to liaise with Major General Heiyan.
In order to coordinate the coordinated operations of the two armies, the Fourth Division told the 44th Regiment that these people never returned once they left.
The death of Major General Kuroiwa caused a serious estrangement between the 44th Regiment and the so-called Lin Fang Detachment commanded by the 37th Regiment Captain Hayashi Taro who stayed behind to support the 4th Division. What happened to Ren Hayashi Taro?
The explanation does not make sense. Under the current situation of the enemy, Colonel Tsutsumi Taro Kawama even specially allocated a squadron to guard against the Lin Fang detachment.
Because in the view of Colonel Hejian, who was angered by the death of Major General Kuroiwa, the death of Major General Kuroiwa was a conspiracy of the Fourth Division. The Fourth Division has been very aggressive in attacking in the past few days, and has been extremely fast in retreating.
In the eyes of Colonel Hejian, he even called it a shame to the imperial army in private.
According to Colonel Kawama, who once served as a squadron leader in the Fourth Division and knew these Osaka people very well, after the main force of the Fourth Division withdrew, those who were left behind were absolutely unwilling to stay in the group.
The mountain seems to be a very dangerous place. When the main force was still there, they fought lazily and half-dead. Now that the main force of the division has withdrawn, these people are probably thinking of rubbing oil on their feet at all times.
In order to get rid of the fate of remaining on the battlefield as soon as possible, these people can do anything. In the view of Colonel Hejian, if killing Major General Black Rock allows them to withdraw to Jiamusi, then these people can definitely do it. After all, the supreme command
The officer was killed in battle, and the withdrawal of the troops without unified command was a matter of course and something that no one could deny.
The somewhat rude and even simple-minded Colonel Kawama stubbornly believed that the people of the Fourth Division were the culprits of Major General Kuroiwa's death. According to his own ideas, he took necessary precautions against Lin Fang's detachment. However, Sawada Shigeru was on the way back to the march.
Because of the march, the radio could never be turned on, so the dispute between the two armies was never properly resolved.
Tsutsuki Taro Kawama is a bit simple-minded, but Yoshitaro Hayashi is not stupid. After knowing that Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu died at the hands of the people he sent to communicate, he immediately understood that the person who went there must have had some problem on the road and was killed.
He was an imposter. Those who killed Major General Heiyan were definitely not his subordinates.
Colonel Lin Yoshitaro knows very well what kind of character his subordinates have. He knows that his subordinates are a little greedy for money. It cannot be said that they have no ideals of being loyal to the emperor, but they are definitely not many. They may run away from battle, or they may find various excuses to pretend to be sick to avoid going to war.
On the battlefield, I would never dare to assassinate a major general officer because of cowardice. These people pretending to be officers of the Fourth Division are definitely not from the Fourth Division.
However, no matter how Taro Hayashi explained it, Taro Kawama just didn't believe it. Because he didn't believe that those inferior Chinese could pretend to look like officers of the Imperial Army and speak fluent Japanese with a local accent in Osaka. Originally, Kawama
The colonel also didn't believe that the people who assassinated Major General Heiyan were from the Fourth Division.
But the few dirty words typical of Osaka folk that the Sentinel learned so vividly convinced him. Having lived in Osaka for a while, he knew these dirty words very well. He knew that these so-called slangs were actually typical Japanese swear words.
It would be difficult to understand if you didn't live in Osaka for a long time and mix with the low-class people all day long.
In Colonel Kawama's view, there are many Chinese people who can speak Japanese. But there are absolutely no people who can speak fluent Japanese with an Osaka accent and know some obscene slang in Osaka. There are absolutely no Chinese people who can speak Japanese*
Most of them are so-called high-class people who studied in Japan. They will never go to Osaka to learn those low-class slangs.
In fact, Lin Fangtaro's explanation was correct. Major General Kuroiwa was indeed not killed by someone from the Fourth Division. He was killed by Li Mingrui and the Second Reconnaissance Company led by him, who were ordered to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and find out the movements of the Japanese army after the deployment adjustment.
Li Mingrui is a bold leader, and the company commander of the Second Reconnaissance Company he leads, although a graduate of the Puppet Manchukuo High School who joined the army in Weihe, is somewhat arrogant, is a leader who dares to break the truth. The two
It would be strange if these bold and arrogant people get together and don't cause some trouble.
I was ordered to detect the movements of the Japanese army after adjusting their deployment, but because the Fourth Division was heavily guarded, in order to find an opportunity, I lay down in a bush near the Japanese front line for most of the night. It was not until the main force of the Fourth Division withdrew that I found an opportunity.
Li Mingrui was lucky enough to capture several staff officers and their guards who were contacted by the 44th Regiment sent by Lin Fangtaro.
These Japanese soldiers, who thought they were safe near their own positions and were somewhat careless themselves, had been painstakingly trained by Yang Zhen. Although due to time constraints, they were not even half-assed in Yang Zhen's eyes, they could still be considered opponents of the scouts who had begun to take shape.
. He was knocked down before he could make any sound and call for help from the 44th Regiment's security position, which was already close at hand.
With the style of the Osaka soldiers of the Fourth Division, these few people had already prepared some tricks before Li Mingrui could use more than a dozen interrogation techniques in his mind. The cheerful confessions of these Japanese staff officers made Li Mingrui feel uncomfortable.
Li Mingrui feels that some heroes have no place to play.
Although Li Mingrui has been learning Japanese, due to time constraints, his progress is extremely limited. Not to mention fluent conversation, even listening is half-understood. Fortunately, his second company commander who graduated from the Puppet Manchukuo High School is because
The Japanese were enslaved and educated but they spoke fluent Japanese.
It's just that this guy is somewhat crooked. Not only did he learn Japanese with a fluent Osaka accent from his Osaka-born Japanese teacher, he even learned some Osaka street slang extremely fluently. If he wears a kimono or a Japanese military uniform,
Judging from the accent alone, one could almost believe that he is a Japanese living in Osaka.
After learning about the mission of these Japanese soldiers, the two bold guys murmured for a while and decided to take advantage of the night to sneak into the Japanese military camp to get a feel for the situation. For reconnaissance, it is best to penetrate into the enemy's interior and conduct a thorough investigation.
reconnaissance. Otherwise, what’s the point?
In the eyes of these two guys, if this opportunity is not taken advantage of, they will not even be able to bear the special Japanese uniforms they wore when they went out for reconnaissance. They were determined to fish in troubled waters and brought a few people who could at least understand Japanese.
The veteran who had a simple conversation did not even need to change his clothes. He picked up the documents found on these Japanese soldiers and swaggered into the position of the 44th Regiment under the cover of night.
However, although he was wearing a Japanese military uniform, the company commander, who knew the habits of Osaka people well, still persuaded Li Mingrui to put on the high-end hand-sewn military uniforms worn by the Japanese staff officers. It was the gold in the hands of those Japanese military officers.
He took off all the rings and picked suitable ones for himself and Li Mingrui to wear respectively.
In his words, only by doing this can the Osaka Division's nouveau riche posture be reflected. Moreover, these gold rings can be turned over as troops' activity funds. You know, these golds are much more valuable than pseudo-Manchu coins. Once the troops are on the outside
In combat, these things are very useful.
The company commander spoke fluent Japanese with an Osaka accent, and with the cover of night and genuine IDs, the few people got in with little effort. Although the photo on the ID was not of him or her, the lighting conditions were not ideal at night.
Under the circumstances, no one noticed that the people in the photos were different. To the Japanese sentry, the accent proved everything.
Two brave men took two scouts and sneaked into the military camp of the 44th Regiment. Under the leadership of a second lieutenant, they found the headquarters of Major General Heiyan without any effort. There was no other way, so they had to communicate.
For command matters, go to the headquarters in an open and honest manner.
When they saw Heiyan Yisheng, the two of them were not polite. A major general, three combat staff officers, and two radio soldiers were all killed. For these people, Li Mingrui was not afraid of using a gun. He had suffered a lot with that person.
The two company commanders, who were strictly trained and equipped with two knives, easily killed several people.
After sweeping through the operational maps, passwords and other confidential documents in the headquarters, he told Major General Kuroiwa's guards that the Major General was thinking about the problem and no one was allowed to disturb him. When Tsutsutarou Kawama returned from inspecting the position, he realized that something was wrong.
, the two of them had run away so long that they couldn't even see their shadows.
After hearing the descriptions of the sentries and the Major General's guards, Tsutsuki Taro Kawama pointed the death of Major General Kuroiwa directly at the Fourth Division. He never thought that the initiator of all this was actually a student who was taught badly by a teacher from the lower class of Osaka.
Not only him, but probably no one in the entire Kwantung Army would have thought that a Chinese could actually understand the most vulgar slang in Osaka. Who would have thought that a teacher who was supposed to be highly respected would open his mouth and shut up so much that he was full of swear words? Still the most vulgar slang.
That kind?
While the two Japanese troops fighting together were busy arguing over who killed Major General Kuroiwa, they did not know that their opponents would not leave them much time. Just when Taro Kawama forced Taro Hayashi to
When they handed over the murderer, they didn't realize that their opponent was slowly approaching them.
On the second day after Major General Heiyan was killed, Yang Zhen, who set out early in the morning and carefully avoided the defense circle of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade whose main blockade direction was northwest, had already deployed the 3rd Cavalry Brigade defense line close to the newly completed line.
At noon, relying on the cover of the dense mountain forests of Xiaoxing'an Mountains, we made a secret detour to Qunce Mountain, the flank of the 44th Regiment's main position.
As soon as Zetian Shigeru retreated to the front line of Miaoling Mountain, they were discovered by Dong Ping, who had been staring at them. Almost at the same time as Zetian Shigeru began to retreat, Yang Zhen immediately commanded the troops to launch a detour without any hesitation.
Action. Neither Sawada Shigeru nor Senior Colonel An Xian, who commanded the advance force, noticed that there was an army running in the opposite direction to them less than ten miles north of their retreat route.
Although Sawada Shigeru transferred two squadrons from the 4th Cavalry Regiment and added eight squadrons to the 3rd Cavalry Brigade. He also left the independent cavalry regiment in the 7th Puppet Manchukuo Military Area, but the entire group strategy
The mountain range to the north of the mountain is really too vast. The number of cavalry squadrons is almost half less than that of infantry squadrons. Although there are many cavalry squadrons, after deployment, there is still a serious shortage of troops.
Under the strict order of Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru to ensure the northern flank of the 44th Regiment, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade had no choice but to leave the Puppet Manchukuo Cavalry Regiment originally used as a search force and assume the responsibility for the westernmost
In his opinion, the most dangerous place is the front line of Miaoling Mountain, because it is right behind the 44th Regiment.
The cordon directly north of the 44th Regiment was handed over to the cavalry regiment of the Seventh Military District of the Puppet Manchukuo Army and the two Puppet Manchukuo military camps transferred. However, compared to the puppet troops in the pass, the Puppet Manchukuo Army
The degree of control of the Kwantung Army has always been the most proud thing of the Kwantung Army. However, neither the 44th Regiment nor the Third Cavalry Brigade are completely assured of the loyalty and reliability of the Puppet Manchu Army. Behind the Puppet Manchu Army
, and also dispatched two Japanese squadrons from the 44th Regiment to monitor the situation.
Whether it is according to the ideas of Sawada Shigeru or Kuroiwa during his lifetime, even if there is a problem in this direction and the first-line position responsible for the puppet Manchukuo army is broken through, the two Japanese squadrons behind will be able to support it for a period of time depending on the terrain. At least they can support it until
The entire 44th Regiment completed the turn.
When Major General Kuroiwa and the Third Cavalry Brigade reported this plan, Sawada Shigeru, who had been urged by Kenji Doihara and was about to get angry, finally approved the combat plan after a brief hesitation. In his opinion,
, the plan made by the relatively stable Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu is not perfect, but it is the best choice now after the main force of the Fourth Division has withdrawn.
After all, even if the intensity of the attack is reduced, the main force of the 44th Regiment still needs to maintain pressure on the front line of Qunce Mountain. Especially after the bloody encounters in the past few days, Sawada Shigeru has no confidence in this and other anti-Manchu forces.
Armed with completely different styles, they were very wary.
But no one expected that Yang Zhen's choice of assault point was not behind the 44th Regiment, nor on the southern line, which was most vulnerable to attack, but directly north of the 44th Regiment.
.That is, the defensive direction assumed by the Puppet Manchukuo Army. Because after breaking through the cordon established by the Puppet Manchukuo Army, they will have a head-on confrontation with the 44th Regiment.
After communicating with Guo Bingxun, especially after receiving the information provided by Li Mingrui, after knowing that after the withdrawal of the 4th Division, Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, the highest commander of the entire Japanese army on the Qunce Mountain front line, was killed by Li Mingrui, he immediately started to work without any hesitation.
Prepare for counterattack.
After finally determining the breakthrough point, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to act. As for the details of the operation, especially the cooperation with the other two regiments commanded by Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen still needed to discuss further with Guo Bingxun. The troops were resting, but Yang Zhen was
While working out the next battle plan with Ma Chunsheng and Liu Changshun, they also communicated with Guo Bingxun on the radio about counterattacks.
After finalizing the battle plan, Yang Zhen looked at the sky, sent Ma Chunsheng and Liu Changshun back to rest, and then read the changes in the enemy situation on the front line of Qunce Mountain sent by Guo Bingxun, compared the map with the battle plan, and read it bit by bit.
Checked it again.
When the battle plan was finally completed, it was already dawn. After rubbing his sore eyes after another night of sleeplessness, and listening to the hurried footsteps of the troops gathering to set off, Yang Zhen took a deep breath and took a deep breath.
The air with a hint of coolness makes you sober.
Looking at Yang Zhen's eyes that were a little red from staying up late, Zhang Ting, who came to ask him for advice, handed him the breakfast and said with some distress: "Why don't you take a rest? Look at your look, you haven't been up all night again.
Want to sleep? How can your body bear it if it keeps going like this?"
Zhang Ting felt a little distressed when she heard that
