Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "This personnel order requires the Political Department to immediately scoop out a plan and complete the adjustment within two days. As for the issue of Deputy Director Jin, Wang Xiaoming will announce it after Hunchun. Yes, you send a report to the First Army, which has withdrawn to Mudanjiang, and ask the First Army to send some comrades to assist the Second Column in moving south.
"Ask Sun San, who has now withdrawn to Harbin, to immediately deploy the two battalions with the strongest combat effectiveness and load them eastward. At the same time, he ordered the cavalry brigade currently stationed in Qiqihar to stop resting and replenishing, except leaving two battalions to assist the first column. In addition to guarding Qiqihar, the rest of the troops immediately loaded up on the spot. All the troops attacking this time were under the unified command of Wang Xiaoming, commander of the second column. This time we will stab him. While rescuing the workers, we also have a look at the Japanese army. reaction."
After Guo Bingxun quickly recorded Yang Zhen's order, he immediately drafted an order and handed it to the staff for immediate dispatch. At the same time, he formulated a detailed plan for the attack. In response to Yang Zhen's vigorous and resolute actions, he quickly adjusted the command of the Korean Independent Division. Members, Guo Bingxun was not surprised by the removal of the acting political commissar.
This is not the first time that Yang Zhen, who is very disgusted with internal fighting, has done this. Especially with Guo Bingxun's shrewdness, he has long sensed from Yang Zhen's words and deeds that he has no regard for the commander of the Sixth Division of the Second Army from the very beginning. The deputy director of the Political Department of the Independent Division, who was born in China, didn't appreciate it very much, and even felt disgusted.
Guo Bingxun understood Yang Zhen's arrangements for the deputy director of the Political Department. A capable team, of course, is all about being capable. As for whether he can rely on this capable team to gain a foothold in North Korea, his own motherland, then It depends on his own ability.
As for this personnel arrangement, Li Yanping, who had handled the affairs of the Korean Independent Division, did not express any objection. Perhaps in Li Yanping's view, the Korean Independent Division had reached a point where it would no longer work without rectification. In the military region, the three military and political leaders With the tacit understanding of the officials and the cooperation of some cadres in the independent division, the personnel changes in the Korean Independent Division did not cause even a small wave.
The day after the military and political chiefs were replaced, the Korean Independent Division received an order. More than 1,200 people in the division boarded a train in Jiamusi and headed east to Dongning to cooperate with the second column. At the same time, Sun San led the two columns. Including a tank battalion and a cavalry brigade, they had arrived in Dongning by train.
After receiving the telegram from the headquarters, he was fully cooperating with Du Kaishan to attack Shenghongshan. Wang Xiaoming, the two major Xunshan fortresses, was a little dumbfounded. Although he was somewhat reluctant, under the strict order, he had no choice but to attack Du Kaishan who was coming. The position was handed over, and the troops were assembled to prepare to go south as soon as the attached troops arrived.
Looking at Wang Xiaoming who was a little downcast, Du Kaishan shook his head and said: "Old Wang, don't worry. This time I asked you to go south to Hunchun to rescue workers. The headquarters must have a very important intention. Otherwise, it would not be at this time. Move your second column away."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoming smiled bitterly and said: "Old Du, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just a little disappointed. Although it's more difficult to win the Hongshan Fortress Group, it's also a pretty good environment to train troops for tough battles. If you give me a few days, I'll I think the second column’s attack capability will definitely be greatly improved.”
"But at this time, I was asked to go south to attack the Wujiazi Fortress Group. It is still far from being formed, and it is just a large construction site. Moreover, the headquarters has repeatedly emphasized that it is not allowed to be reluctant to fight. As long as the rescue mission is completed, all Japanese construction sites will be destroyed.
Once it is blown up, we will immediately withdraw to Dongning and set up defenses."
"What kind of mission do you call this? What can be accomplished by one brigade must be done by one column of us. Isn't this using a hammer to fight lice, overkill? I really don't understand what No. 1 is thinking. Leave such a one alone
If we don’t use the opportunity to train our troops, we have to go south to Hunchun to rescue some workers.”
Regarding Wang Xiaoming's reluctance, Du Kaishan said calmly at this time: "There is a reason why the headquarters transferred all the troops of your second column in Dongning this time. First of all, the 57th Division is now deployed in Hunchun.
On the Wangqing front line, the main force of the 12th Division also mainly gathered in Wangqing after retreating, and Tumen rested."
"In the entire three counties of Wangqing, Hunchun, and Tumen, the Japanese army gathered nearly two divisions of troops. Including the Korean army and the local Puppet Manchukuo military and police, the concentration of Japanese troops there was quite high.
In addition, it is not an easy task to ensure that all tens of thousands of workers are brought out safely. You have to be careful, lest the task is not completed and you are bitten by the Japanese army. And this Korean independence
The teacher’s issue also needs you to decide.”
"Old Chen came from the Second Army. He used to serve as the commander of the Fifth Division of the Second Army, and he is very familiar with this man from long-term battles. The reason why the headquarters asked you to make the announcement, instead of Lao Chen, who was more appropriately selected.
, I’m afraid the intention is also to worry about embarrassment or old Chen being too nostalgic for old friendships.”
After saying that, Du Kaishan glanced at Wang Xiaoming, hesitated for a moment, took out a telegram from his military uniform pocket and handed it to Wang Xiaoming and said: "This is the secret telegram sent to me by No. 1 and No. 3. But after thinking about it, I still
It's best to let you know. After all, you are the one commanding the battle south. Without your cooperation, it will be difficult to execute this order."
"Order No. 1, if the person resists when the order is read out, he can be shot and killed for treason without giving a warning. In addition, when the order is announced, your troops must be ready for battle. If the person resists, or appears
If the situation becomes unstable, the entire Korean Independent Division will be immediately disarmed on the spot."
Wang Xiaoming took the telegram and looked at it carefully, with a hint of unbearable expression on his face. Although this person has been active in the Second Army, due to the brief period of cooperative operations before, the two of them are familiar with each other and can be regarded as old comrades.
. He did not expect that this person would make so many small actions within the Korean Independent Division, and even execute cadres transferred from the pass without the approval of his superiors and contact the Soviet Union privately.
Wang Xiaoming is very clear about the reason for the headquarters' behavior. What this person has done has crossed the bottom line. Neither the Military Region nor the Northeast Bureau will tolerate him continuing to do this. Especially behind the back of the Northeast Bureau and the Military Region, secretly and privately with the Soviets
Contact is something that the current military region with unprecedented unity of military and political command cannot accept under any circumstances.
After Wang Xiaoming put away the telegram, he raised his head and looked at Du Kaishan and said: "Old Du, don't worry, I know what to do. No matter whether he deserves to die or not, he can't stay in the army anyway. Please tell the headquarters.
, I will follow No. 3’s order.”
After that, Wang Xiaoming said: "Lao Du, I am going south, and I will leave this place to you alone. Although there are not many Japanese troops left in the entire Dongning Fortress Group, the threat is still great with the strong fortifications. , you, Lao Dubie, didn’t get any meat, but half of your teeth were knocked out. Especially since Li Mingrui is going south with me this time, almost two-thirds of the main reconnaissance force has gone, and your place is even more tight."
Regarding the relationship between Wang Xiaoming and Wang Xiaoming, Du Kaishan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Old Wang, I'm really reluctant to leave you. You went from south to north, and I went from north to south. We cooperated very well before. With your control, , the little devil can only use half of his energy to deal with me. With you here, I don’t have to worry about the entire southern half of Dongning Fortress. But once you leave, it will be my business."
"The turtle shell of the Japanese is so strong that it's not a big problem. Now I have a way to deal with them. The key is that the damn terrain here is so annoying. It's too close to the Soviet border. We When attacking fortified areas, we should not dare to adopt deep and roundabout tactics, as this will save us money, and we must be more careful when using artillery fire cover."
"Yesterday when we attacked the Shenghongshan Fortress, a shell fell into the Soviet Union. Didn't you see the angry look on the face of the colonel who came to negotiate with the Border Guard Corps this morning? It was as if the missed shell killed him. Just like his mother."
"Damn it, half the division's little devils swaggered away from under their noses without even farting. When they came to us, they were just a missed cannonball. I've spent most of my time worrying about this. We are protesting and negotiating at the same time, it is almost annoying me to death. We must be asked to hand over some bullshit murderer."
"Damn it, they thought I didn't know that the deflected shell hit basically no man's land. Apart from maybe killing some pheasants and rabbits, there wasn't even a human figure. And they handed over the murderer. How could they let him? If my soldiers give them pheasants, will the rabbits pay for it with their lives?"
Hearing Du Kaishan's complaint, Wang Xiaoming, who knew that this guy was trying to relieve himself, relaxed his frown and said with a smile: "If they like to protest, let them protest. Anyway, it won't hurt us half." Damn it. Don't be too constrained by this nonsense and cause unnecessary casualties. Didn't No. 1 say that the lives of our soldiers are more precious than anything else?"
"I know you, Lao Du, are just complaining. You are more courageous than a pumpkin. Even if a thousand cannonballs miss, not to mention one cannonball, you will not be timid because of this matter. But it should be I still want to remind you that you need to maintain a good attitude when dealing with certain things, especially when dealing with the Soviets."
"Even if you have to let go and fight, don't be tied up by the Soviets' protests. But you can't cause any trouble to the headquarters. You, Lao Du, are very thoughtful, but don't overdo it. Those Soviets are not that easy to fool. Yes, you are better than a monkey at gluing hair on each one."
"I guess the reason why the Soviet colonel was so excited was because of what happened to his predecessor. This time he was afraid of being held accountable by the superiors, so he acted in such a timid manner. Didn't you realize that since the kid's Twelfth Division borrowed After the Soviet Union escaped, did their border guards have to be replaced?"
Having said this, Wang Xiaoming paused and said: "Okay, Lao Du won't be in contact with you anymore, I'll set off first. I'll fight quickly here and try to come back as soon as possible. When you finish the fight here, we two brothers will drink together One cup. I have been fighting this battle for more than three months, and I am exhausted. After this battle, I need to have a good rest."
"Besides, Lao Wang and Lao Tao have all stopped fighting, but we are still fighting lively here. We should also speed up a bit, and don't always be unable to resolve the battle. By then, we will be disgraced. I I know that although these fortresses are a little more difficult to attack, they are still not as difficult as you, Lao Du. I'm leaving, take care."
