Iwabe Masako's little calculation was just based on what he had just done. If he breaks out to the south, even a fool can tell, and I'm afraid he won't have the slightest chance. [.Com text] Moreover, the south is also the opponent's main attack direction. Breaking out to the south,
That is tantamount to seeking death. Only by breaking out to the west and entering the deep mountains may there be a certain chance.
As long as Major Liu Xi breaks through to the south, he can attract the opponent's heavy troops. Don't try to shoot when the time comes. Just run away quietly. The chance of a successful breakthrough to the northwest is greatly increased. Poor Major Liu Xi is also grateful to Masao Iwabe.
Let himself break out of the encirclement. But he didn't know that Masao Iwabe was secretly plotting against him in his heart.
However, Masao Iwabe was right when he said something. The prisoner who persuaded them to surrender was able to cross the battle line and reach their command post in the center of the position. It was impossible without someone’s connivance. The background of the soldiers of the 70th Regiment was too complicated, especially
The origins of those officers mentioned by senior non-commissioned officers after the expansion of the army are even more complicated.
Iwabe Masao could foresee that for the prisoner to come to him smoothly, more than one officer must have given the green light. And the other officers, even if they were not involved, had all expressed silence. It had been half a year since he took office, but for him
Iwabe Masao, who was already familiar with his subordinates, understood what this meant. It meant that the morale of the army had completely collapsed.
Iwabe Masao knew very well that the 70th Regiment no longer had the courage to fight. The reason why it has not collapsed yet is because these people probably still have the last glimmer of hope for a breakout. After all, the Japanese army's policy towards their captured officers and soldiers is
Especially the treatment of the officers, everyone is very clear about it. As long as there is a slight possibility, no one is willing to be this prisoner.
Of course, for these soldiers from Osaka, if they fail to break through and can only be broken into pieces, they will not hesitate to put down their weapons. The reason why the army is still barely maintaining is precisely because of those who know what to do if they go back.
The officer who had no other choice but to commit suicide is still holding on.
Iwabe Masao, who had completely lost his determination to continue fighting, wondered how he could escape. On the other hand, looking at the ripe grapes in front of him, Liu Changshun and Du Kaishan, who could not eat them for the time being, expressed their feelings towards Yang Zhen.
I am very dissatisfied with the move to persuade him to surrender at this stage.
In their view, these Japanese troops were already familiar with them, and they could easily capture them at any time, so why bother trying to persuade them to surrender? They knew that this was Yang Zhen's helpless move after receiving Kovalev's telegram request.
The Battle of Nomonhan has ended, and Japan and the Soviet Union are negotiating. But when it comes to the exchange of prisoners of war, the Soviets are having a headache. The Japanese have proposed a one-to-one exchange, but the Soviets do not have that many Japanese prisoners in their hands.
.
Compared with the number of captured Soviet prisoners of war, although not huge, but still in the hundreds, the number of more than 80 Japanese prisoners of war in the hands of the Soviet army is not worth mentioning at all. If one-on-one prisoners were required by the Japanese
The exchange is not even enough.
The 23rd Division, which was the main force participating in the war, and the 7th Division that was later reinforced, were not soft-legged crabs like the 4th Division. There were many people who died with the Soviet tanks holding explosive bags. Although the two sides fought fiercely for several months
It took a long time, but the number of prisoners of war captured by the Soviet army was not many. Moreover, some of the captured Japanese prisoners of war were worried that they would be retaliated against if they returned, and there were many who did not want to go back.
During the January 28th Incident, the Japanese army's treatment of captured officers and soldiers is no longer a secret among the Japanese army. Officers were forced to commit suicide, and soldiers were sent to Hokkaido to do hard labor. This is already a well-known thing among the Japanese army.
Therefore, one-third of the Japanese prisoners of war who knew what would happen to them when they returned did not want to return home and suffer the consequences.
The little Japanese was a bit stubborn when fighting and would not surrender easily. But once he was captured, his mind was more active than anyone else. Although because of his strong obedience, he can be called the best-managed prisoner of war in the world. But it is not
It means these people are willing to go back and suffer.
Based on the special needs of certain parties, the Soviet army did not intend to forcibly repatriate prisoners of war who were unwilling to return. This resulted in a larger gap in the number of prisoners of war that could be exchanged between Japan and the Soviet Union. In order to make up for this gap in numbers, they had to repatriate themselves as soon as possible.
The captured personnel were exchanged. Under the signal of the Far East Military Region, Kovalev made a request to Yang Zhen, who was currently fighting a fierce battle with the Japanese army, for Japanese prisoners of war.
After some bargaining with Kovalev's request, which was not excessive, Yang Zhen agreed. Only then did he send someone to persuade him to surrender. Besides, Yang Zhen now also needs Japanese prisoners of war.
Go to the coal mine in Heli to change the situation in which coal mine miners in the Heli area are recruited into the army by themselves, and the shortage of miners is extremely extreme. After all, the contract with the Soviet Union can be delayed, but it must be completed eventually.
For Yang Zhen, living Japanese prisoners of war are worth much more than dead ones. But he would only do this to the Japanese soldiers from the 4th Division like the 70th Regiment. For those other Japanese divisions with extremely strong determination to die,
, he would not risk being bitten by trying to figure out how to catch him alive.
Although the prisoner of war who went to persuade the surrender did not achieve the goal of getting all the remaining members of the 70th Regiment to lay down their weapons, they at least brought back fifty or sixty Japanese prisoners of war who did not want to continue the fight and voluntarily surrendered. There were even two second lieutenants among them. Although
The quantity is a bit small, but it’s better than nothing. And it’s a good start after all, isn’t it?
After persuading him to surrender, Yang Zhen felt that he had done his best. Since the remaining Japanese troops were still holding on, don't blame him for not cherishing these Japanese troops who in his eyes had become exchanges for goods. Waiting for the pick-up
After reporting to Tao Jingfei at the front that the work of persuading him to surrender had been completed, Yang Zhen directly picked up the phone and issued the general attack order.
However, the attack order was issued, but Yang Zhen withdrew Liu Changshun's second brigade before the battle, and handed over the final solution to the 70th Regiment to the third brigade, which now had only one main regiment plus a shelf regiment.
Du Kaishan's subordinate was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Changshun. Yang Zhen just smiled without saying anything and threw him directly to Guo Bingxun.
Looking at Liu Changshun who seemed a little impatient when hearing the intensive gunfire coming from outside, he unfortunately lost the bet, but Guo Bingxun, who did not look disappointed at all, took him to the front of the map and said: "The reason for withdrawing your second brigade is
There is a reason. You immediately go north overnight to the original Third Brigade Station in Qunce Mountain, where additional troops have been prepared for you."
"The headquarters has decided to hand over the Tangyuan Independent Regiment that has completed preliminary training to your headquarters, and upgrade the six regiments of your brigade that were originally shelf regiments to reorganized regiments. After the replenishment is completed, you immediately lead the team to the Tangyuan Independent Regiment in the northwest of Qunce Mountain.
Advance secretly to the front line of Jidian, and wait there in hiding to wait for orders from the headquarters. In addition, your old partner, the former political commissar of the Second Regiment, Wang Xiaoming, has arrived there in advance to join the troops who are preparing to be incorporated into your brigade."
Guo Bingxun's explanation made Liu Changshun's eyes light up: "Chief of Staff, let our brigade go to the front line of Pangjiadian, southwest of the 1st brigade that is fighting hard in Heli, to wait in hiding. Are we going to attack the 25th Division? This is too much.
Okay. Now our brigade can finally grab a piece of fat meat to eat."
"It's really great to have Lao Wang transferred back. Chief of Staff, you don't know that since Lao Wang was transferred, I am now shouldering the responsibility of the party and government. I am really busy. Especially since I have nothing to do."
He is ignorant of culture and has a stupid mouth, and he cannot do a good job in political work at all. You and the commander transferred Lao Wang back, which really solved my urgent need."
Regarding Liu Changshun's excitement, Yang Zhen, who was thinking about how to draft a call back to the First Army, said coldly: "Why are you excited? If Du Kaishan's regiment was not cooperating with Deputy Commander Zhao to block the attack, do you think this good thing can be achieved?"
Is it your turn? You still grab the fat to eat, but the fat is not eaten, but the front teeth are knocked out by the bones."
"I can tell you that this time, an independent regiment that has just completed preliminary training but has not yet been fully stabilized will be transferred to you, and your brigade will be expanded into a full force as a priority. The headquarters has made great determination. It is on the front line of Jiangjunshi
Wang Guangyu, who fights with the main force of the 25th Division, has not yet enjoyed this treatment. If you mess it up for me, you should not be a brigade commander."
"Also, Wang Xiaoming is just that the headquarters has considered that the independent group newly transferred to your brigade is not very stable. Your brigade does not have a political commissar yet, and you are old partners and are relatively familiar with each other, so we temporarily changed from the current situation which is relatively stable.
Division 1 was temporarily transferred to you. After the battle is over, Wang Xiaoming will return to Division 1."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at Liu Changshun, who was still excited even though he had thrown cold water on him, and warned him carefully: "Remember, you are absolutely not allowed to act rashly before receiving orders from the headquarters.
During the concealed standby period, you must have good control over your troops."
"Especially for the newly formed independent regiments, you must seize the time to familiarize yourself with them and give me a firm grasp. You must not allow any changes in the troops. They are newly formed troops and are not very stable yet. Once someone defectes, you will be exposed.
position, our entire combat plan will be ruined."
After saying that, Yang Zhen raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, waved his hand and said: "Stop inking here. Go back and prepare immediately. There is not much time left for you. If you can't reach the group before dawn,
Ceshan, we'll be in trouble when the Japanese plane arrives."
Ana couldn't help feeling happy. Liu Changshun, who had long been worried, saw Yang Zhen happily letting him go. Without saying a word, he saluted a military salute and immediately returned to his unit to prepare to go...
Looking at the hurried back of this guy, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said to Yang Zhen worriedly: "Commander, this guy is always so irritable, can he complete the tasks assigned to him by the headquarters? The location of their second brigade this time
But the top priority. Whether this battle can be fought successfully depends entirely on whether their second brigade can get in place on time after receiving the order."
In response to Guo Bingxun's concerns, Yang Zhen, who was personally drafting a telegram to the Allied Forces participating in the war, hoping to respond to the call, raised his head, pondered for a moment and then said: "Although this guy is a bit impatient and a bit stubborn. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoming and Wang Xiaoming are there.
There shouldn’t be any big problem with the help of Ma Chunsheng and Ma Chunsheng.”
Regarding Yang Zhen's answer, Guo Bingxun smiled and said nothing more. Looking at Guo Bingxun's strange smile, Yang Zhen remembered something and said: "Lao Guo, I said you must be willing to admit defeat. Your application for party membership is
It’s not time to hand it over. Without you as the chief of staff of the Military Region Standing Committee, many things cannot be solved.”
In response to Yang Zhen's question, Guo Bingxun hesitated and said: "Commander, I don't need to write this application for joining the party. You have a radio station that has direct contact with the central government. You can send a report to the Central Military Commission. Please confirm it with the Sichuan Military Commission.
An underground party member with the codename 5543 who joined the party in 2036. This party member had direct contact with the Sichuan Military Commission. If the person in charge of the Military Commission at the time had not died, we should be able to find out."
Hearing Guo Bingxun's answer, Yang Zhen was slightly stunned and couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand. After being stunned for a long time, Yang Zhen said: "Old Guo, are you the 5543? Haven't you been at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France?
Studying abroad? When did you join the party? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why didn’t you tell me when the central delegation came?”
In response to Yang Zhen's question, Guo Bingxun said with a wry smile: "My fiancée when I was in the Sichuan Army turned out to be an underground party member of the Sichuan Provincial Committee. I was introduced by her to be a secret party member specially approved by the Sichuan Military Commission, with the code name of 5543. Anti-Japanese War
After the outbreak, I applied to go to Yan'an. But my superiors did not agree and asked me to stay in the Sichuan Army to work on military affairs and troop transportation."
"After the Sichuan Army came out of Sichuan to fight the war, I moved to various places with the Sichuan Army. Due to the inconvenience of communication, I gradually lost contact with my superiors. After I was captured at the Battle of Xuzhou, contact was completely cut off.
"Such a long time has passed, and I don't even know whether the Secretary of the Military Commission died or not. After my fiancée was arrested and sacrificed, no one but him can prove my identity. And there are no witnesses, how can I tell you?
?If you hadn't mentioned this matter, I would have almost forgotten my other identity."
"If he had died, no one would have confirmed my party membership. In order to protect me, except for my fiancée who was my liaison, I had a direct line of contact with him. Except for the two of them, there was no one in the entire Sichuan underground party.
Know that I exist."
"Before leaving Sichuan, my superiors repeatedly told me that for the sake of safety, I should not easily reveal my identity to anyone, even my own comrades. Even if I encounter troops of the 18th Army in the war zone, I am not allowed to contact them. Except for
After receiving a special notice, my direct superior is still the Sichuan Military Commission. Not even Li Mingrui knows my identity."
Yang Zhen could feel the bitterness in Guo Bingxun's smile. In later generations, he had seen in the memoirs written by the seniors that many underground party members who had made outstanding contributions and had single-line contacts lost contact because of the sacrifices of their superiors.
.Guo Bingxun’s example is not uncommon.
But please ask the central government to re-examine. Firstly, it will waste time. Secondly, it may not be possible to investigate clearly. The most important thing is that if a few of you can survive until liberation, it will involve certain aspects of the problem. Especially in the past two years.
After losing contact, I'm afraid Guo Bingxun is so full of words that he may not be able to speak clearly.
After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zhen still said: "Lao Guo, you don't know whether the comrade who developed you at the beginning is still alive. The situation is complicated, and it is difficult to find out clearly in a short time. I don't think so.
You have reported it to the Central Committee, and you should not mention it again except for the two of us. You still need to write your party membership document, isn’t it just a difference of two years in party membership? It’s nothing.”
