Although the dense gunshots in the bungalow area could not reach the urban area of Harbin, which is 20 kilometers away. [.Com text] However, they could be heard clearly at the various Puppet Manchukuo police stations all around.
If the Kwantung Army had not issued an order at the beginning of construction here that all military, police and special personnel in the area, especially the so-called Manchurians, were not allowed to enter without special requirements from the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply or orders from the Kwantung Army, these would have been impossible.
The police department, with all real power in the hands of the Japanese deputy, had already taken the initiative to provide support.
The reason why Yang Zhen has been able to survive until now is thanks to Shiro Ishii, who drank an entire bottle of strychnine. If he didn't want to save face, Shiro Ishii would not think that those timid Chinese people would pose a threat to him and refused to ask for help.
After receiving the report from the surrounding police stations, the Harbin gendarmerie made an inquiry call, but did not tell the truth. I am afraid that according to the usual response speed of the Japanese army since the war began, Yang Zhen would not have been left for such a long time.
When the gunfire subsided and the phone calls here could no longer be reached, the Japanese who were in charge of the surrounding Puppet Manchukuo Police Station immediately smelled something unusual and immediately reported it to the Harbin Japanese Military Police again.
The Harbin Japanese Military Police, which has always been responsive, seemed a bit slow this time for some unknown reason. Even after receiving reports from several Puppet Manchukuo police stations in the Pingfang area, they were slow to take action until they fled from Dongcun Village to nearby areas.
After two geishas reported the incident to a Puppet Manchukuo police station, the gendarmerie, which was a little slow to respond this time, rushed directly to the location of the incident as quickly as possible.
In fact, it was not that the military police's sense of smell failed this time. It was just that after receiving the first report from the police station below, the military police, who knew the importance of this place, called Shiro Ishii and asked about the origin of the gunfire. But in person
Shiro Ishii who answered the phone just told them that they were dealing with a batch of redundant or diseased road bugs and had nothing else to do.
The military police captain, who had had many contacts with this arrogant and even somewhat arrogant military doctor, and knew the true inside story of this force under his jurisdiction, which was under the direct control of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, saw Shiro Ishii's answer.
He didn't dare to ask further questions. He just ordered the surrounding police stations to pay close attention to the developments there.
When he received the report of changes in Dongcang Village, the military police captain did not care about Shiro Ishii's face, and immediately led people to the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department. However, when he waited here, in addition to a pile of corpses, what greeted him was
Not a single living person was found.
Seeing the corpses lying on the ground, especially those of several well-known experts who had worked at Manchuria Medical University, the military police captain who personally led the team to the scene couldn't help but feel chills in his neck. When he saw that it had become
When watching Shiro Ishii in Ghost Eunuch, the military police captain burst into tears. He couldn't even imagine what was waiting for him.
The captain of the military police who did not dare to delay, let alone conceal anything, ordered the entire city to be put under martial law to search for these audacious people. Damn it, the roads were so big. At the same time, he quickly reported the situation here to the Kwantung Army headquarters. He also reported the situation to the Second Division stationed in Harbin.
Request help from the Fifth Independent Guards. Request aircraft and cavalry to be dispatched to cooperate with the search.
The reason why he asked the garrison for help was because the military police captain did not know the whereabouts of these five hundred former prisoners of war and needed a large number of manpower to hunt them down. In his mind, the military police captain also believed that these five hundred former prisoners of war had looted enough equipment.
The former prisoners of war equipped by the two squadrons are not something that his mere one hundred military policemen can handle.
He was very sure that all the weapons and ammunition here had fallen into the hands of the rioters, because after arriving here, except for two damaged rifles, there were usually enough weapons and ammunition to equip a squadron and a piece of equipment for the security force.
did not see.
The most critical issue for him to ask for help is that although the garrison here has only one squadron for the time being, it is a serious field squadron drawn from the independent fifth garrison. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is better than his.
It focuses more on breaking up the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese underground organizations and arresting those military police who are keen to resist the prisoners of the Imperial Japanese Army.
According to the descriptions of the policemen at the surrounding police stations, it took less than an hour from the time the gunfire started to the time the gunfire completely subsided. In such a short period of time, the security team composed of more than a hundred authentic field force elites were all thrown down.
Here, no one is spared. What does this mean? It means that these thugs have relatively strong fighting power.
Based on the combat effectiveness of the military policemen under my command, who are not police officers and not agents, if they really encounter those thugs, the more than a hundred military policemen of my own will not give them meat in their mouths.
Moreover, Harbin is such a big place, so relying on more than a hundred armed gendarmes and some Manchukuo police to hunt down thugs equipped with large amounts of weapons and ammunition, isn’t it the same as looking for needles? Even if they have those under their control.
Even though all the police were deployed, it was impossible to completely seal off the Harbin area.
Fortunately, although the main force of the Second Division was still participating in the battle within the Chinese Pass, and the garrison area was also large, not many troops could be mobilized to assist at the moment, but the independent fifth garrison's actions were still quite fast.
Although the new commander had not yet taken office, under the coordination of the former commander Fujiji Yasui who had just been promoted to the commander of the second division, after receiving the military police's request for help, he immediately mobilized all available forces to assist the military police in apprehending these men.
The daring Chinese people. The Second Division also deployed some cavalry to assist in the search.
After learning that the Second Division and the Independent Fifth Guards had agreed to send troops to assist in the search, the gendarmerie captain, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief. After his anger subsided, he felt a little lucky. He hoped that for his own good
If all these thugs can be annihilated without causing too serious leaks, the Kwantung Army headquarters may be willing to let him go. Although he also knows that the hope is slim.
As the captain of the military police responsible for eliminating so-called threats to local security, he knew many secrets known to ordinary people. He knew that those who were killed in the attack on the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department of the Kwantung Army were not only those in the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department themselves. He also knew that those corpses
At least a dozen of them are members of the Kwantung Army's chemical weapons class, which specializes in the study of chemical weapons. Some are even famous experts in poison gas warfare in Japan.
Whether it is the arrogant people in the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department or the chemical weapons class of the Kwantung Army, they can be regarded as Japan's top experts in these two fields. The deaths of these people angered not only the Kwantung Army. Someone must take this matter
As someone who is responsible for local public security and rectification, he is the best scapegoat for this matter.
Although there are records of the call with that damn Shiro Ishii to prove for him, no one can guarantee whether the furious emperor and the military will see this. Although he has the rank of colonel, in the eyes of Tokyo, he can
Far less valuable than the dozen senior officers who are now corpses.
However, even if the Second Division and the Independent Fifth Guards Corps agreed to send additional reinforcements to assist the Military Police in enforcing martial law in the areas around Harbin, time lost is already lost, and it is not easy to regain it.
After estimating the time for the reinforcements to depart and arrive at the designated location, the military police captain suddenly discovered sadly that by the time the reinforcements promised by the Second Division and the Independent Fifth Guard Corps were in place, those Chinese thugs would have long since disappeared without a trace.
No trace left.
The gendarmerie captain, who had been ecstatic just now and disappeared without a trace after coming to this conclusion, could only place his hope of finding out the whereabouts of these people in the policemen of the Manchukuo Police Department who were densely scattered throughout the Northeast.
, and on the planes dispatched after dawn.
Although Yang Zhen was mentally prepared for the possible pursuit methods of the Japanese, he still felt worried. He was not very worried about the aerial reconnaissance. Now that he and his people were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, from the sky, they looked like a troop.
A normal marching team.
But what Yang Zhen is most worried about is the Japanese cavalry and the military and police officers all over the Northeast, especially the minions they support who speak Chinese, eat Chinese food, but are determined not to do Chinese things. These people are the ones who are worried about China.
The greatest danger to this team. Without the assistance of these people, Yang Zhen believed that the Japanese alone would never be able to truly defeat the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
In the fourteen years since the fall of Northeast China, it was these people who really brought the greatest and heaviest losses to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. How many heroic Anti-Japanese generals were sacrificed not under the butcher's knife of the Japanese, but in the hands of these people.
If he really met these people, Yang Zhen knew that although these people were wearing Japanese military uniforms, it would be difficult to hide them for a long time. There were very few civilian military personnel in the Japanese army, and most of them were in hospitals or some high-level institutions. Field operations
There are basically no troops.
Not to mention Chinese, ordinary Japanese soldiers are rarely seen except in hospital. So many of them appear in the wilderness together in groups like now, and they are fully armed. Many of them have blood on their bodies.
, or even injured, is simply impossible.
Look at the people around you who are carrying guns in different postures during long-distance marches, and some even directly use their guns as crutches. How can they be compared with the well-trained Japs? Let alone the Japs.
In comparison, even compared with the elites of the puppet Manchukuo army trained by the Japanese, they were far inferior. These were all extremely sophisticated dogs who had been fighting the Anti-Japanese War for so many years and whose vision had been tempered.
In order to avoid the sensitive sense of smell of these dogs and to enter the mountainous area as soon as possible, Yang Zhen refused several suggestions for rest along the way, but kept urging him to speed up the march. It was not until he entered Acheng that Yang Zhen agreed to take a short rest.
.
However, he was worried that the Japanese cavalry would catch up at any time, so he only agreed to rest for fifteen minutes. If there were no wounded in the team, Yang Zhen would not agree to rest.
After nearly four hours of rapid marching without a break, except for the former 18th Army soldiers who could barely hold on, the former ** soldiers were so tired that when they heard the order to rest, they staggered and lay on the ground.
It’s no wonder that these people are physically weak. Since they were captured, these people haven’t had enough to eat. When they got here, in order to save worry, the Japanese would not give these former soldiers enough to eat. In addition,
They themselves lacked training in forced marches, and after a period of fighting before, their bodies have not been able to fully recover. It is normal for them to be unable to keep up with their physical strength.
As for the Eighteenth Group Army, this army has never known what it means to have a full meal since the day it was established. For them who have never had any means of transportation, long-distance marching is what they are good at. So although it is also very tiring, they can barely do it.
Can be maintained.
Looking at these tired people lying on the ground, Yang Zhen took care of the wounded, and then personally led his comrades from the 18th Army who still had energy to set up security posts. If the number of landmines seized in the bungalow was not too small,
Yang Zhen really wanted to lay out a minefield around it.
After setting up the alert, Yang Zhen did not rest. Instead, he came to a place with a slightly higher terrain than the surrounding area. He held up a telescope and carefully observed the surrounding situation in the morning light. Although he was also very tired.
In fact, Yang Zhen, who has been rushing to the front line, can be said to be the most tired of these people. Whether it is mentality or body, Yang Zhen has reached the peak at this time. If there is even the slightest possibility, Yang Zhen doesn't want to think about anything now.
When I do it, I just want to lie on the ground and take a nap.
The current long-distance march after a fierce battle is nothing to Yang Zhen who has received professional long-distance training in later generations. It can even be called a daily routine. But for his current body, it is really unbearable.
.
But the grim fact made Yang Zhen know clearly in his heart that no matter how tired he was, he could only persevere. It was far from a safe zone and it was not the time to rest. Needless to say, if he was a little negligent, the Japanese and puppet soldiers around him would be destroyed.
They would pounce on them like flies smelling the smell of blood. In such a plain area, with the surrounding enemy troops densely packed, a head-on fight against an enemy with an absolute advantage would not even be considered the best strategy.
Although he cannot guarantee that he will never be exposed, he must try his best to delay as much time as possible in order to get as close to the mountainous area as possible. The "enemy situation" is what Yang Zhen wants to know most and needs to know the most. But before he
The person in front of him was completely blind, and he didn't know anything. Why didn't this make him anxious, so that he could rest safely and boldly?
While Yang Zhen carefully observed the surrounding environment, he continued to use the map to estimate how to take these people safely to a place with much room for maneuver in the shortest marching distance without alerting the enemy.
Mountainous areas.
Yang Zhen, who was immersed in thinking, was interrupted by a kettle being handed over. Taking the kettle from Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen shook his head and realized that his throat was already smoking with thirst.
Looking at Yang Zhen who took the kettle and took a gulp of water, Guo Bingxun said: "Old Yang, you should also take a rest. No matter how good your physique is, you can't bear such tossing. From yesterday to now, you haven't been able to stand it at all.
No rest."
