This courtyard was the only one that looked relatively intact under the Japanese artillery fire. It was not nearly blown to the ground like other adobe houses in the village by the intensive Japanese artillery fire. It was the private residence of the former Shuangcheng police chief before the September 18th Incident.
After the September 18th Incident, it became the private residence of a Shuangcheng official from the Puppet Manchukuo.【,.
It can be said that no expense was spared when it was first built. Not to mention that it was all built with blue bricks, a high and thick stone courtyard wall can be used as a ready-made defense. After taking over, the puppet Manchukuo official, in order to prevent the Anti-Union
To cause trouble for myself, a large amount of reinforced concrete was used to reinforce the courtyard wall. Three full houses in the courtyard were also reinforced extremely strongly.
Although this courtyard has been damaged by Japanese artillery fire, it is the last house in the Kong family shack village that has been almost flattened by Japanese artillery fire and can still be used for fortifications. The most important thing is that this courtyard is located in the northernmost part of the entire village.
Block the entire village's northward exit.
Moreover, there is an artificially constructed open area of nearly fifty meters between this extremely magnificent compound and the surrounding villagers' residences. Defending this compound is equivalent to guarding the north exit of the Confucius family's shack.
Taking advantage of the gap in the Japanese artillery fire, this building was actually basically destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire. However, due to the relatively strong construction and raw materials, it still stood tenaciously behind the courtyard of the Confucius Shack Village, which was now in ruins.
Gou Zaiquan deployed the only troops on hand, including the lightly wounded who were still able to move, in squads in various houses that could communicate with each other, preparing to use house-by-house tactics to hold back as many Japanese troops as possible.
At the same time, they collected dozens of rounds of 65 bullets from the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and concentrated them all into the only one that was still relatively sound at this time. At this time, because the 79 bullets had been completely consumed, the original Polish-made 7
All nine rifles were replaced with a squad of 38 rifles in each hand.
The only remaining crooked light machine gun captured in the battle and the last more than a hundred rounds of machine gun ammunition were left to this squad as a mobile strike force. As for the rest of the people, including Gou Zaiquan himself, they all carried bayonets.
Good preparation for hand-to-hand combat.
After deploying all this, Gou Zaiquan picked up the walkie-talkie and gave Ma Fengqi his last report: "Brigadier Commander, there are no more people and there will be no more ammunition. Now our last platoon has been surrounded by the Japanese army in the north of the village. We are ready."
Preparation for the final sacrifice. Please believe, brigade chief, that we will fight to the last soldier and will never surrender. Long live the Anti-Japanese Alliance and long live the Chinese people."
After making the last report, Ma Fengqi calmly asked the correspondent to pour a small bottle of kerosene that he had always carried with him and burn the walkie-talkie and code book. Then he picked up his beloved phone, which had been with him since he joined the staff training team. At this time
Having used up all the bullets in the speed machine, he first smashed the watch issued by the headquarters after serving as a staff officer, and then violently smashed it against a volcanic rock in the yard that was used as a scenery.
When the weapon that had accompanied him in his military career was smashed to pieces by his own hands, Gou Zaiquan picked up a Polish-made 79 rifle left behind by the sacrificed soldier. After fixing the bayonet, he said to the cadres behind him: "Smash the unnecessary weapons."
, burn all the documents and papers with writing on you. Everything here was taken from the enemy's hands by us, and it must not fall into the hands of the Japanese again."
Following Gou Zaihe's order, he brought a reinforced company to reinforce the Kong family's shack. After half an hour of fighting, only one and a half squads were left. Sun Pinghua, the instructor of the second company of the 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment, said nothing and just remained silent.
With his only remaining arm, he struggled to take out the company personnel list and firepower configuration list and burned all the remaining fire caused by the Japanese artillery shells.
At the same time, he asked the correspondent beside him to press the last round of bullets in his body into the two boxes that had been seized by the Puppet Manchukuo police. Then he unscrewed the safety cover of the last grenade and inserted it into the belt around his waist to complete the final preparation.
preparation.
The two commanders had already set an example, and the rest of the soldiers did not hesitate. They smashed all the extra weapons that had no ammunition in their hands. Except for concentrating the remaining 120 rounds of ammunition into two submachine guns.
In addition, all the other submachine guns were disassembled into parts and thrown everywhere. The submachine gunners were all replaced with rifles left behind by their fallen comrades or captured Type 38 rifles.
Gou Zaiquan here made the final preparations, while Ma Fengqi put down his headphones and was speechless for a long time. The Kong family shack's front line was nothing more than a reinforced company of defenders that withstood the attack of a Japanese regiment for nearly three hours. This was already the limit. Change
It is impossible for that army to achieve such a record in the face of such a tiger and wolf army as the Japanese army under such a situation where the enemy is outnumbered and the firepower is greatly different.
Wang Deyao has reported that although they tried every means to support the front line of the Kong family's shack, the Japanese army's firepower was too strong. The reinforcements sent several times were unable to get close to the front line of the Kong family's shack because of the huge disparity in troop strength and firepower.
Not only did the Thirteenth Regiment fail to rescue several times, its own casualties were also heavy. Except for a platoon and a half that rushed in before the Japanese army completed the final encirclement of the Kong family shack, the rest of the reinforcements paid a heavy price but never recovered.
Rushed in. Among them, a company originally stationed in the Xin family shack was unable to open the Japanese blockade despite repeated attacks. Instead, it suffered casualties. When they withdrew, there were only three lightly wounded soldiers left.
In fact, these people in the Kong family shack have become the only ones surrounded by the Japanese army. Looking at the map, Ma Fengqi was puzzled. Since the Japanese army has almost occupied the entire village, they have actually taken control of the Kong family shack.
Quan, why don't you go around and continue to attack north? Instead, you can compete with the few remaining soldiers Gou Zaiquan has.
The twenty or thirty people trapped in the Kong family's shack are actually the defenders who have run out of ammunition and food. They no longer pose any threat to them. Why are they still fighting there and pretending to be incomplete?
Seemingly determined to occupy the Kong family's shack and never give up? Doesn't this Suzuki Teiichi know what it means to be quick in battle? Or are they consciously delaying or using the Kong family's shack to attract their own attention?
Thinking of this, Ma Fengqi sent a report to the column, hoping that the column could help find traces of the 70th Regiment, which had never shown up. But what Ma Fengqi did not expect was that the column directly replied that he did not need to worry about the threat of the 70th Regiment. Now
For him, what he has to face is the Ninth Division that is about to appear on the battlefield.
The Japanese Ninth Division has passed Xinjing, and its leading regiment is about to arrive in the southern part of Shuangcheng. The Japanese follow-up column is only half an hour away from the leading regiment. In other words, this new force appears on the battlefield.
The Ninth Division will arrive at the battlefield in an hour at the latest.
The column ordered the Second Independent Brigade to persist in the twin cities for 48 to 72 hours at all costs in the face of the Japanese 9th and 25th Divisions' attacks. The aviation force mobilized by the headquarters has completed the transfer from Jiamusi to Harbin.
field, will fully support the operations of the Second Independent Brigade. At the same time, the column decided to allocate two bases of light weapons and ammunition to the Second Independent Brigade, and one base for each type of artillery shells.
Putting down the telegram sent by the column, Ma Fengqi stared at the map for a long time but could not figure out the headquarters' next strategic intention. It was not until his eyes swept across Qiqihar, the former Heilongjiang provincial capital to the west of Harbin, that he suddenly realized that the headquarters was to be centered on the twin cities.
, tightly entangled the Japanese 9th and 25th divisions on the twin-city line, and first dealt with the 51st division in the west.
However, although he roughly guessed the next strategic intention of the headquarters, Ma Fengqi understood that the next strategic intention of the headquarters and the column had nothing to do with him at least for now. In addition to facing the 25th Division, which was currently in fierce battle, Ma Fengqi understood that the next step was not related to him.
The next step was to face the Japanese Ninth Division. After thinking for a while, Ma Fengqi turned around and asked the staff officer beside him: "How many people are still not evacuated?"
The combat staff beside him heard Ma Fengqi's inquiry and said with some hesitation: "Brigadier Commander, there are still more than 3,000 people who have not been evacuated from the train station. As for the more than 10,000 people who have not left the county, the political commissar and the people from the Political Department
We are still mobilizing. It is very difficult and some people refuse to leave no matter what they say.”
"In addition, the railway system of the puppet Manchukuo was originally in the hands of the Japanese. Now we have arrested all the Japanese railway personnel. There are too few Chinese nationals left, and we can only guarantee a train every half an hour. Also
, the reception situation in Harbin is also not optimistic. So although almost every train is overloaded, the progress of the evacuation operation is still very slow. Only two-thirds of the population has been evacuated in three hours."
After hearing the staff report, Ma Fengqi slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "My soldiers are bleeding and dying every minute, and these people can't bear to part with the jars and jars at home. You can tell the political commissar the enemy situation report from the column, and then
Say what I said, if it doesn’t work, force them away. We don’t have much time. The fall of the Kong family shack is a foregone conclusion, and the Japanese artillery shells that are about to hit the Zhang Zheng shack may hit Shuangcheng County at any time.”
Hearing Ma Fengqi's order, the staff officer said with some embarrassment: "Brigade Commander, could you please think about it again? If you force the evacuation, it will violate our policies and disciplines. Once someone reports this to the headquarters, you may be severely punished.
Disciplinary punishment. Should we let the political workers do the work? Let’s find a way to fight for it. I think as long as we explain our intentions clearly, these people will understand our painstaking efforts.”
Regarding the concerns of the staff, Ma Fengqi waved his hand and said: "If you violate it, violate it. It is much better than letting these people die in vain under artillery fire. If we let these people die under the Japanese artillery fire because of our poor work,
We are the biggest criminals. Tell the political commissar my attitude, and I will bear the responsibility alone."
"Tell the political commissar that I can only give him an hour at most before the entire line is evacuated. In other words, all these more than 10,000 people must be evacuated within an hour no matter what. In addition, you can send a telegram to the column.
Let them dispatch another train. Think of a way to shorten the departure interval to less than fifteen minutes."
