They say they figured it out on their own, but what do you think? That's thousands of people, not thousands of chickens and ducks. [ka".Com text cannonballs, bullets don't have eyes, even if they are fired from the muzzle of a Chinese gun
, but how can they tell which ones are Chinese and which ones are two-legged beasts?
But it is simply impossible to leave these nearly a thousand Japanese troops alone. Every commander knows what the meaning of these thousands of combat soldiers is in a fierce battle. They may become a soldier every second.
The straw that broke the camel's back. Once these thousands of Japanese troops were let go, it would cause great disruption to the next battle.
In order to understand the development of the situation in the shortest time, Wang Xiaoming discussed with Chen Hanzhang. Wang Xiaoming was left to direct the overall situation at his current position, while Chen Hanzhang rushed to the front line of Zhonghoutun to see if he could find a chance to rescue the hostages held hostage by the Japanese.
.The thought of thousands of civilians trapped within the Japanese army who had not received any tactical training and could not even dodge bullets gave Chen Hanzhang a headache just thinking about it.
After arriving at Zhonghoutun, Chen Hanzhang discovered that the matter was much more serious than he imagined. More than two thousand men, women, and children were dispersed by the Japanese army into various bunkers and fortifications surrounded by barbed wire, and mines were placed around them.
In addition to using minefields and barbed wire fences, the Japanese army dug a trench along the entire perimeter of Zhonghou Tun.
The current situation is that the trenches are surrounded by fortifications surrounded by barbed wire and minefields, and the barbed wires and minefields surround the common people, who in turn surround the various firepower points of the Japanese army. These designs appear to be carefully planned deployments, so that the people who are used as human shields
These people couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
The firing ranges between the various fortifications of the Japanese army overlapped with each other, so that the entire Zhonghoutun peripheral fortification group, plus the outermost trenches, had almost no shooting dead spots. The firing ranges in front of each fortifications were also cleaned up quite cleanly, with 500
There are no hidden objects within meters.
The deployment of the Japanese army is not only strict, but also extremely vicious. In other words, if you want to rescue these civilians who are being used as human shields, you can approach from any direction without being exposed. Once exposed, the troops will be directly exposed to the bare wilderness.
There wasn't even any room to fight back.
What surprised Chen Hanzhang even more was that all the people who were captured as shields were old, weak, women and children who couldn't even run, let alone break out of the encirclement. There were not no young and strong men, but they were very few in number.
.It can almost be described as negligible.
In fact, if there were not those thousands of ordinary people, and with the advantage of artillery fire, it would not be a difficult task to deal with such temporary firepower points and field fortifications built with bricks and tiles. After a burst of artillery fire, those field fortifications would probably be few.
One can escape.
But the key thing now is what should the common people do? If a shell falls, the common people will be killed and injured much more than the Japanese army. But if it is an indiscriminate attack, it is estimated that not many of the common people can escape the damage of the artillery fire. Don't say that you can't do it.
, even if you go ahead and take action, the Military Region and the Northeast Bureau will not be able to spare you after the war.
What's more, he is a people's soldier. If he doesn't care about the safety of the people, what kind of people's soldier is this? Not to mention the headquarters, even if the common people know about it, those spitballs will drown him. Even his own subordinates, I'm afraid, won't
Execute this command of your own.
Seeing all this, Chen Hanzhang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He put down the telescope in his hand, turned to Duan Ziquan and said: "Old Duan, this deployment cannot be completed by the Japanese in a short time. Even if the Japanese are
The fortifications were built during the sawing process, but I’m afraid this person wasn’t just arrested today.”
"Although the attack we launched at 15 o'clock took more than four hours from the north bank of the Songhua River to here, it would not have taken more than four hours for the Japanese to go from planning to arresting people to delivering them here.
Completed. I'm afraid this idea was already thought up when the Japanese were planning to withdraw their troops. The Japanese captured only old, weak, women and children. I'm afraid the situation is not as simple as we see. Even if these people are rescued, they will not be able to run away.
It is simply impossible to escape the Japanese firepower pursuit in a short period of time."
Hearing this, Duan Ziquan smiled bitterly and said: "Political Commissar, you are really right. We learned from the police chief of Fangzheng County of Puppet Manchukuo who we arrested through interrogation that the Japanese started arresting people in Fangzheng County yesterday. Originally, they were
I want to place these ordinary people at various points from Jiangnan to Fangzheng, firstly, to act as human shields, and secondly, to delay our pursuit."
"It's just that we took action in advance so that the Japanese had not had time to disperse these people. Otherwise, it would be more difficult for us to fight this battle. If we are all surrounded but not fought, our troops will not be allocated enough. What's more,
It is not a safe thing to leave so many Japs behind. The special purpose of arresting the old, weak, women and children is a vicious method specially thought up by the Japs in order to delay us. As for the young and strong laborers in Fangzheng County, they were all captured by the Japs.
Let’s go and stay in the county to build fortifications.”
Looking at Duan Ziquan with a depressed look on his face, Chen Hanzhang patted his shoulder and didn't know what to do for a moment. A hard attack would definitely not work, but he still had no idea what to do.
After a long while, Chen Hanzhang said: "If you catch that Fangzheng police chief, bring him over. Ask him to tell the Japs in Zhonghoutun that as long as they let the people go and surrender, I will guarantee their lives. If they
If they want to return to the Japanese-controlled area, I promise to send them away safely. And except for Fangzheng County, all the places are up to them."
Having said this, Chen Hanzhang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If they insist on withdrawing to Fangzheng County, I can agree. But there is one thing, these people must be released. I promise that I will never pursue them before they enter Fangzheng County.
I can’t even fire a shot.”
"Also, let the police chief tell the Japanese commander of Zhonghoutun that as a Chinese Communist, I also hope that they can cherish their sense of honor as soldiers and not take it as an honor to massacre unarmed people. Yes.
Soldiers should show their swords with their opponents on the battlefield instead of hiding behind old people, women, and children and pretending to be cowards."
"If their Japanese bushido spirit is to use ordinary people as shields to block bullets for themselves without daring to fight face-to-face with their opponents, then their so-called samurai spirit is far inferior to that of the little-footed old lady in China. It is a
Men just come out and fight to the death."
Hearing this, Duan Ziquan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Political Commissar, do you think the little Japs can agree? We have been fighting the Japs for so long since the September 18th Incident. Have you ever seen how many Japs take the Chinese seriously?
"Not to mention thousands of people, but tens of thousands of Chinese people, how did they take it seriously? In their eyes, the Chinese are probably not as valuable as an animal."
"After all these years, have you ever seen that Japanese surrender voluntarily? Moreover, when you deal with them, he will act like a gangster with you. When you act like a gangster with him, he will fight with you again.
Reason. It is better to use ruthless tactics and resort to cruel tactics when the situation is not going well. These devils are much stronger than us Chinese. Your method of provoking the generals will hardly work."
Chen Hanzhang sighed and said: "Old Duan, I don't understand what you said. But there is no way. We can only think of some ways now, and at least delay it for some time. Go ahead and implement it. There is no way.
If they can release these people, I promise they can withdraw to Fangzheng County."
Although he knew that it was of little use, he also knew that Duan Ziquan had no other option but to follow Chen Hanzhang's request and put the reluctant Puppet Manchukuo Police Chief Fangzheng into Zhonghoutun. The Puppet Manchukuo Police Chief, go in
It didn't take long to come out.
Seeing Chen Hanzhang, the guy with a swollen face said quickly: "Sir, I will tell you exactly what you said to Colonel Gao Shanguifu. Colonel Gao Shan asked me to tell you, if you want him to let go of these things."
Ordinary people, if you and all your troops in the south of the Yangtze River withdraw to the north of the Yangtze River, they will release all the people of Manchukuo on the spot. And they will not kill anyone."
When Chen Hanzhang heard the Japanese army's reply, he frowned and said: "Are you sure what I mean? Have you said it clearly and verbatim? I can tell you that this matter is related to the thousands of people in Zhonghou Tun.
People's lives are safe. If you dare to fool me, I will cut you into pieces."
The Puppet Manchukuo police chief turned pale with fright, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Sir, I am absolutely sure that I didn't miss a single word. I lied to you. Besides, those people are usually like my fellow villagers, so what can I do?"
Those unconscionable things are related to the life and death of thousands of people, how can I dare to lie. Look at my face, it was the colonel who beat me."
"Sir, let me tell you, those people were not arrested by me, but by the Japanese deputy director and his people. They asked me to arrest people but I refused, so they removed them. I usually keep my head down.
If you don't look up, I can let the villagers die and take bullets for them. Now you are trying to save the villagers, how can I lie to others at this time?"
When Chen Hanzhang heard this, he shook his head and said: "You are going to go and tell them that it is impossible to agree to this condition. If you want to talk, just do as we say. If they insist on having their own way, don't blame us for ignoring them.
If they attack forcefully, they will bear all the consequences."
Hearing Chen Hanzhang's tough words, the Puppet Manchukuo police chief said with a wry smile: "Sir, the Japanese colonel said that if we negotiate, we will follow this, or we will skip the negotiation. If they agree, within an hour
Move away, and continue to surround me if I don't agree. Also, they won't let me go in again, saying that if you don't do what they ask, they will kill me if I go in again."
Listening to this guy's whining about not wanting to go in, Chen Hanzhang said angrily: "Either you go in again, or I'll shoot you right now. If I kill a traitor, I'm afraid no one will hold me accountable. I'll give you two choices."
, you go in and talk to them again, maybe there is a way out. And I promise you that I will not pursue you for being a traitor afterwards. Or I will shoot you now."
