Seeing Major Imamoto's tough attitude, the artillery squadron leader had no choice but to return to the two mountain cannons, gritted his teeth and gave the order to fire.
The artillerymen of the Type 41 mountain artillery were also good. When I thought that my commander, who was still alive, would be loyal to the emperor during this bombardment, my hands were trembling a little. The first two shells fired actually missed the target.
.
Although the first two shells missed, Wu Deqiu was shocked by the Japanese army's use of artillery. He did not expect that the Japanese army, who had been so timid just now that they did not even dare to use their rifles, would simply use mountain artillery to shoot flatly this time.
Wu Deqiu was still aware of the technical level of the Japanese artillery. Not knowing that there was a huge purpose hidden in this artillery fire, he thought that the two missed shells were probably intentional misses by the Japanese to warn or warn him.
It means forcing yourself to compromise and give in.
Although Wu Deqiu did not understand the true intention of the Japanese army's artillery fire, one thing he knew was that if the Japanese army's artillery shells fell into this narrow conference room, the explosive gas and scattered shrapnel could easily kill more than 30 of his men.
One pot for each person.
Looking at the Japanese artillerymen who were adjusting their firing range, Wu Deqiu, who knew that the Japanese army would not give him much time to think, gritted his teeth and was about to give the order to retreat. But a familiar voice came to his ears: "Leave these devils alone."
They, you should withdraw immediately."
Hearing this voice, Wu Deqiu turned around and saw his respected Chief No. 1 and a foreign Japanese, plus a pretty female soldier and an officer from the Political Department of the Military Region, standing outside the door of the conference room and was startled: "One
No., why are you here? It's too dangerous here, I'll cover you, you leave immediately."
Looking at Wu Deqiu who was a little nervous when he suddenly appeared, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, you lead the team to withdraw immediately. If the devils fire again, your luck will not be so good. Wu Deqiu, you are a veteran
, you must obey the order. You don’t need to worry about the Japs here, your column commander has already dispatched troops to the exit of this tunnel."
Seeing Yang Zhen's resolute attitude and the habit of absolute obedience to No. 1 that he had developed for more than a year, Wu Deqiu could only obey the order and lead the troops to withdraw from the house. Just as he left, this small meeting
The room was hit by Japanese artillery fire. Although the power of the 75mm mountain cannon was not great, its lethality in this small conference room was astonishing.
After the gunfire stopped, Wu Deqiu looked at the iron gate that had been blown up by a direct hit. He thought it was a fluke. If No. 1 had not come and issued the order to retreat in time, I am afraid that all of his people would have been left here today.
Only to see that Yang Zhen was accompanied by only two guards besides the foreign Japanese and the female soldier, and Xiao Huzi, who was always close to No. 1, was not there either. Wu Deqiu anxiously arranged the battle formation,
He said to Yang Zhen: "No. 1, why did you bring two people down here? What if the Japanese come after you? You go away quickly, I'll hold on here."
Looking at the anxious Wu Deqiu, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Japanese will not come after you. If I guessed correctly, they may have begun to retreat now. They changed their previous tactics and used artillery just to rush
Get away. It would be better if they dare to chase me, and save trouble."
As if to prove Yang Zhen's words, two explosions came from the Japanese-controlled area at the other end of the tunnel. Hearing these two explosions, Yang Zhen said: "These two explosions mean that the Japanese blew up the artillery and ran away."
These two explosions, can you rest assured?"
Although Yang Zhen said it very lightly, after all, it involved the safety of the No. 1 commander of the military region. Wu Deqiu, who was worried, still sent someone to conduct reconnaissance. It was not until he was sure that all Japanese troops had withdrawn that he truly felt relieved.
Seeing Wu Deqiu's relieved expression, Yang Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, you can rest assured now. You are the most familiar person in this Japanese fortress, so today I ask you to help me
We will serve as a tour guide, leading us to have a good tour of this most complete fortress we have captured so far."
Although he was worried that there was a small group of remaining Japanese troops in the tunnel that had not yet been eliminated, Wu Deqiu finally nodded when looking at No. 1's body that was extremely thin due to long-term overload work. After setting up the alert, he took No. 1
And the foreign Japanese who spoke fluent Chinese visited the entire Japanese Asahi Mountain Fortress.
However, during the visit, compared with the foreign Japanese who was looking at it with great interest and admiration, Wu Deqiu could clearly see that there was a trace of indescribable depression in No. 1's expression, and his eyes revealed from time to time
It feels half sad and half angry.
Wu Deqiu knew the reason for the half-angry expression on No. 1's face. When the troops captured the Japanese strategic warehouse group in Daduchuan, they discovered several large-scale warehouses in a depression northwest of the Daduchuan line.
A large mass grave. More than two thousand corpses were excavated from just one hillside.
According to several rescued labor generals, the bodies of workers who were tortured to death during the construction of the Dongning Fortress Group were buried in that area of the mountain. And this was only a part of them. Those who were tortured to death and who were massacred after the fortress was basically completed
The corpses of laborers who were silenced and then cremated on the spot, as well as those who were secretly disposed of by the Japanese army, are not included.
How many laborers were tortured to death during the construction of the Dongning fortress complex by the Japanese army and how many laborers were silenced after the completion of the fortress is now almost impossible to investigate unless they go to Tokyo, Japan and seize the complete files on the Japanese army's construction of fortifications in Northeast China.
Clear numbers.
When the Second Column captured the Madashan Fortress, they learned from the captured Japanese soldiers that after the construction of the fortifications was completed, many laborers were massacred by the Japanese soldiers in some deserted ravines, and then the entire hillside was destroyed by blasting.
Explosion and collapse. Unless known in advance, the place where these workers were buried will always be a mystery. There are so many mountains and forests in Dongning, and it is impossible to find where the workers who were killed by the Japanese army were buried.
In this fortress complex where the invaders continued to invade in order to protect their own aggressive interests from being challenged, every brick and every tile is seeped with the blood and lives of countless Chinese people. In Wu Deqiu's view, seeing this fortress,
It's strange that Hao feels so good in his heart.
Wu Deqiu guessed right. He saw that in later generations, due to the brutal bloody battle between the Japanese and Soviet armies, and the Japanese army's own destruction of loot when they retreated, most of the fortifications had disappeared. They were not blown up by the victor's Soviet army.
, it was blown up by the Japanese army or hidden, and not many above-ground ruins can be seen anymore. How many underground ruins there are, except for the Japanese, I am afraid that no one can clearly check the fortress. Yang Zhen is indeed in a very sad mood.
bad.
Dongning Fortress Group, as the largest Japanese fortress group in the entire Northeast region, is far larger than the two major fortress groups that Yang Zhen captured successively, Fengshan Fortress Group and Fujin Fortress Group. It is even larger than the Heihe Fortress Group.
Both the Hutou Fortress Group and the Hutou Fortress Group are much larger. Among them, the Chaorishan Fortress, which is not the largest, is already equal in size to the Fengshan Fortress that has been roughly completed.
Yang Zhen walked slowly in the underground fortifications of Chaori Mountain Fortress, feeling very heavy. After a long time, he said to Major Pierce of the U.S. Army who came from Jiamusi beside him: "Mr. Pearson, I hope you can take a good look at this building."
Fortress group. In the future when there is a war between the United States and Japan, your experience may be useful."
Major Pearson, who was also watching very carefully, heard this and smiled and said: "Commander Yang, I have made an assumption about the possibility of a war between the United States and Japan. According to the current relationship between the United States and Japan, in order to prevent
Due to the Japanese expansion ambitions, the United States may one day have a conflict with the Japanese, but the possibility of encountering such a situation is not too high."
Pearson believes that although the Japanese have great ambitions, as long as the United States and its allies, which hold the source of the Japanese's wartime blood, cut off the supply of oil to the Japanese, the Japanese themselves will surrender. Unless they want their own
Warships, aircraft, and tanks have become a pile of scrap metal. Although the Japanese have posed a certain substantial threat to the interests of the Americans, they do not have the courage to attack the Americans.
"The United States and Japan are separated by the vast Pacific Ocean, which means that the battle between the United States and Japan in the future should be dominated by the navy. Unless the Japanese can occupy the entire Southeast Asia and Australia, the U.S. and Japanese forces on the ground will
The likelihood of encounter is extremely low.”
"Although the Japanese navy is very powerful, it may be a threat to the U.S. Navy, which has two major fleets, the Pacific and the Atlantic fleets, and ranks first in the world in naval strength with the British Empire. The Japanese navy may be a threat, but their army is
There is no threat. As long as we defeat the Japanese navy, we will not have the chance to encounter this situation. So Yang, there is not much chance of your blackmail succeeding."
Pearson only said half of what he said. The remaining half involved the face of Americans, so he naturally would not say it. In Pearson's view, the blood and oil of the Japanese are currently in the hands of the United States and Britain.
Inside. Even the Dutch East Indies oil fields, the only oil fields in Southeast Asia that are not in British hands, are still under the control of the American Pacific Fleet and the British Royal Navy.
Although the Japanese navy is powerful, it is not immune to the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the British Far East Fleet. In front of the powerful navies of the United States and Britain, even the Japanese with a powerful navy would not have the guts to touch the tiger's butt. You know,
If he goes south to Southeast Asia to seize the oil fields in Southeast Asia, he will directly face the U.S. and British navies who combined are far superior to him.
In Southeast Asia, the interests of the United States and Britain are integrated. Burma, which is rich in oil, is controlled by the British. The British, who have huge interests in the Far East, will not allow the Japanese to pursue their Far Eastern colonies. Faced with this,
The British will definitely stand with the Americans against the Japanese bayonet threat.
In addition, the oil-rich Dutch East Indies are currently under the protection of the United Kingdom. For the Dutch government currently in exile in London, and for the Dutch, the overlords of the East Indies, the attitude of the British is still very critical.
.Once the Japanese want to go to war with the United States, they will face an extremely severe oil embargo from the United States' allies.
As long as the United States cuts off its oil supply to the Japanese, the Japanese warships will become a pile of scrap metal without oil. Unless the Japanese plan to convert all their warships back to burning coal, otherwise without the warships, will the Japanese
