Chapter 354 The secret order that can only be conveyed orally
Yi Liangpin did not intend to capture the big fish as a prisoner. In addition to not wanting to cause too many casualties due to the possible stubborn resistance of the Japanese army [.Com text], there was also a more important reason, which was that before the roundabout, the No. 1 number he received
The personal guard around him once found him alone, and the number one he conveyed was a top-secret order assigned by Yang Zhen himself, which could only be conveyed verbally.
Yang Zhen's order is very simple, without any nonsense, and the focus is only on one thing. That is, for this Sixth Division, we don't want any prisoners, even the highest-ranking prisoners.
The meaning of this sentence is self-evident, that is, all officers, big and small, and all officers and soldiers, including their lieutenant general and division commander, will not want a single living person after the battle. And when cleaning the battlefield, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers will be killed.
Collect all the photos and don’t leave any behind.
The personal guard on No. 1 repeatedly warned him that this order could only be conveyed verbally and could never be made into any written order. At the same time, he emphasized that this order was not just for them, but also for all commanders above the regiment who were about to engage in combat against the Sixth Division.
Everything is already clear.
At first, Yi Liangpin, who had been educated for many years in treating prisoners preferentially, was disgusted with this top-secret order. But after destroying two squadrons deployed by the Japanese army on the southern front, he saw the accompanying staff of the Military Region Intelligence Department searching the corpses.
After the photos came out, Yi Liangpin was furious in his heart and at the same time, he acquiesced to Yang Zhen's order that violated discipline and, in his opinion, violated morality.
In the photos, the bloodied flesh and blood compatriots were slaughtered like pigs and dogs, and the scenes of his sisters and compatriots being casually insulted like prostitutes and taken into photos. Even though he has been through many battles and has extremely good mental quality, he saw it.
At the same time, I felt horrified, and at the same time, I felt humiliation and pain intertwined in my heart.
As for the Zhonghua Gate, a landmark building in Nanjing, shown in a photo, the brigade political commissar told him clearly that this was Nanjing, the capital of China. The landmark buildings in Nanjing in these photos clearly told him that these were all
It was the atrocities committed by the Sixth Division against the people in Nanjing after they captured it.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that, in addition to the veterans who participated in the Battle of Nanjing, they carried with them a large number of photos they had taken. Among the two squadrons that were destroyed by Yi Liangpin, which were composed of a considerable number of non-combatants, there were several sixth graders.
The division's press censor and field photographer.
Those photographers who participated in the Battle of Nanjing took a large number of photos of the massacre in order to promote the so-called imperial army's majesty. And those few press censors also had a large number of confiscated photos taken by the officers and soldiers below.
At this time, almost all of these photos were seized intact by Yi Liangpin.
Although he had heard about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army after they captured Nanjing as early as when he was in the pass. But after all, he was not in Nanjing at that time, so he had no real experience of this kind of blatant massacre. After seeing these photos today, he
Only then did I deeply understand what it means to be inferior to animals and to be indignant.
After Yi Liangpin seized these photos, he didn't say a word. He just silently circulated these photos to the cadres of each company and above and then said: "How should we deal with such a beast army that has the nature of a beast and massacred countless of my flesh and blood compatriots?"
You should know how to do it.”
In fact, Yi Liangpin never thought that these photos would have such a big impact on the morale of the troops who were already exhausted after a long-distance attack. When the blood on these photos spread throughout the troops, the morale of the entire Fifth Brigade roundabout troops was greatly reduced.
It has reached its climax. Everyone is gearing up to use the heads of these beast troops to pay tribute to the compatriots who died in Nanjing.
As for the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division in front of them, no one has thought about whether they were the ones who massacred the city in Nanjing. Under the guise of Yang Zhen educating the troops not to forget the national humiliation, strengthening national pride and enhancing national self-confidence,
Under the disguised theory of hatred of Japan that was desperately instilled, and coupled with the personal experiences of most people, the entire army was originally full of deep-rooted hatred for the Japanese.
After seeing these photos again, the hatred for the Japanese in the hearts of almost all the officers and soldiers in the army was completely aroused. This battle was fought heartily. No one in the army flinched, and the soldiers who died were all
He fell on the road of charge, and no one flinched. It made the little devil see what the Chinese people's bloody spirit and desperate spirit are.
In fact, Yi Liangpin's guess was correct. Not only did the 6th Division Headquarters have the golden version of the big fish, Machijiri Yuuki, but another big fish did come. Not only did another big fish come, but this big fish
His status is quite high, he is the majestic Major General of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army, Chief of Staff Tasaka Zenichi.
After receiving a telegram from Machijiri Moki that was half threatening and half pleading for help, Namada Juichi was shocked that the Sixth Division was in dire straits. He knew that the Sixth Division was being besieged by the opponent's superior troops and firepower.
But it was quite surprising and shocking for the Sixth Division to end up in such a situation in just one day.
In order to get the Sixth Division out of the predicament, Namada Juichi had all the divisions on the front line engaged in the battle and was unable to mobilize any troops to reinforce the Sixth Division in a short period of time.
The division dispatched a reinforced regiment to march westward from Muling via Ning'an under the stars at night for reinforcements.
Half an hour after the sound of artillery sounded again in the south of Yilan, the Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army, Major General Tasaka Senichi, immediately took a small plane with a short take-off and landing distance to the commander of the Sixth Division, regardless of the danger of night flight.
We must find out whether the Sixth Division is really at the end of its rope.
It's not that Juichi Namada doesn't believe in Machijiri Yuki and the Sixth Division. It's that although the several divisions are fighting independently on the surface, they actually play a cooperative role. Regardless of whether the Sixth Division is completely wiped out.
, or retreat south, it is bound to cause the entire Japanese defense line to be shaken. The seriousness of the matter forced him to act cautiously.
With their arms unable to twist their thighs, the Japanese air force stationed in Muling, which had just begun night flight training and had almost no navigation facilities, could only take the risk of deploying a Type 98 reconnaissance aircraft with the best performance, and a
The best pilots transported the unfortunate Chief of Staff to the Sixth Division Headquarters in Youjiagou overnight.
Fortunately, this pilot is really skilled, and because he has conducted reconnaissance in this area a few days ago, he is relatively familiar with the terrain in this area. He knows that the highest mountainous area in this area is only about 600 or 700 meters, so he has been at 800 meters.
Flying at a high altitude of 300 meters, they arrived safely at the headquarters of the Sixth Division.
However, when landing, although Machjiri Yuki gathered all the cars in the division headquarters and two mobile searchlights to illuminate the aircraft, the distance to the mountainous and flat ground was really limited. Despite the pilot's best efforts,
When the Type 98 reconnaissance plane landed, it almost didn't hit a mountain because the take-off and landing distance was too short.
After getting off the plane, Major General Tasaka Tanichi, who was still frightened and almost flew to the west, made the first decision to go back after dawn tomorrow morning. As for whether he would take this damn plane tonight even if he died, he was the staff officer of the Major General.
Long, not those Army birds.
The frightened Tasaka didn't know that it was his decision that would kill him. As he and Machijiri Yuki studied the Sixth Division's next combat plan and how to get the Sixth Division out of trouble,
By that time, Yi Liangpin had led the vanguard battalion to the outskirts of Youjiagou and deployed three mountain cannons one thousand meters away from them in the shortest possible time.
Originally, before the arrival of Major General Tasaka Senichi, Machijiri Yuki placed a cordon at a distance of two kilometers outside in order to protect the safety of the division headquarters. However, after hearing the arrival of the Major General Chief of Staff, he proposed to protect the aircraft.
, if necessary tomorrow, the division commander and I will take him back to the military headquarters to report to the commander. In fact, this chief of staff thinks that when the situation deteriorates to the point of no return, he can openly abandon the troops and escape on his own.
Asked for a good excuse.
The well-intentioned Machijiri Yuki naturally would not let go of the Chief of Staff's kindness. He mobilized some of the peripheral troops back as quickly as possible, and deployed a line around the Chief of Staff, which was actually the plane where he escaped at the critical moment.
A solid protective ring.
In order to understand the principle of reciprocating a favor, Machijiri Moki deployed half a squadron to protect the aircraft, which left the guard strength somewhat insufficient. He shrunk the guard force at the division headquarters by 1,500 meters southward, to the division
There is a distance of 500 meters outside the regiment headquarters. The warning in the north and east directions extends for 500 meters to avoid the infiltration of small groups of the opponent's troops.
Although he had previously received a report that an enemy force from the left wing had broken through the junction of the 6th and 14th Divisions and crossed southward. However, subsequent reports without exception confirmed that this enemy force of nearly 10,000 people had broken through.
The army's target was not the Sixth Division, but the Fourteenth Division to the west of itself.
When Yi Liangpin made the detour, he was too cautious. There were areas with high mountains and dense forests along the way. Although it brought considerable difficulties to the detour, it undoubtedly also served as a cover for their detour. The Japanese occasionally encountered along the way.
Most of the small forces of the puppet army did not have communication equipment, so their roundabout actions were never discovered by Machijiri Yuuki.
Maybe you think that there is no chance of opponent troops appearing behind you, maybe you think that your opponent will put the main force on your front and right wing. He only pays attention to the northern and western fronts, and does not pay any attention to the southern front that has always been calm. Machijiri
He did not expect that the most fatal blow to him would come from the southern front, which he despised the most.
Just as Tasaka, who was almost thrown to death when landing, was listening to the report on the battle situation from the Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division, Colonel Ishikawa Kozaburo, and the Forty-fifth Regiment Commander Ikeda Junhisa, who mainly commanded operations on the front line, there was a sound from the south of the division headquarters.
The sudden sound of gunshots stunned several people.
Before they could wake up from the strange gunfire, a dense burst of artillery shells hit their heads and faces. With this sudden shelling, Youjiagou, a small town with only a few dozen households,
Intensive gunshots rang out around the mountain village.
