Chapter 72 Sound West Strikes East

After taking the county seat, Yang Zhen, who only stayed in Weihe County for less than half a day, evacuated before leaving, used the artillery shells captured from the Japanese military train to completely blow up all the buildings and railway tracks at Weihe Station. [.Com text]

The remaining freight trains parked in the station were all blown up. All that was left to the Japanese was a pile of ruins.

Although Yang Zhen knew that doing so would greatly lower the image of his troops among the people, he could only do this in order to delay the pursuit of the Japanese army. If he did not want to leave a bearded image to the people, he did not want to cause too much anger among the people.

Disgusted, Yang Zhen, whose time was not too tight, would not just blow up the station. Even important departments such as the radio station in the city would not be left behind.

You must know that although Weihe County is not big, it is still small and has all the internal organs. There are still some necessary facilities such as civilian radio stations. But the role of these facilities is not only military, but also involves civilian use. In order to provide Weihe County with

The people were deeply impressed. Yang Zhen only blew up the train station and basically left all the other facilities behind.

However, although Yang Zhen did not destroy other buildings related to people's livelihood except the train station, before evacuating, he took all the information from the puppet Manchu County government, especially all the information about the group tribes and pioneering groups, so that he could

Everything was taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was burned. Even the household registration was not left behind.

Yang Zhen knew that the Japanese had extremely tight control over the Northeast. If he wanted to break this tight and almost harsh control, he had to start from the most basic things. Burning all the Japanese and puppet household registrations in Weihe County was only the first step.

.

As for what to do next, Yang Zhen has already thought about it. In addition to disrupting the Japanese pioneering group's plan and breaking one of its hands against the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it is also necessary to completely destroy the Japanese plan to return to the villages and merge households, and restore relations with the people.

connections between.

But Yang Zhen doesn't have time to think about how to do it yet. What he needs to think about now is how to face the next heavy enemy encirclement and suppression. He captured Weihe County, which can be said to have destroyed the entire Binjiang Province.

Stabbing him for a whole day is tantamount to giving the Japanese and puppet authorities a harsh mouth to brag about in the newspapers all day long the brilliant victories they have achieved in suppressing the bandits. The little devil is still not going to pursue you with all his strength? You should focus on

How to deal with those Japanese and puppet troops in one step.

Although the current troop expansion is not large, it is definitely not small, and the equipment is sufficient, but Yang Zhen definitely does not think that the combat effectiveness of his troops has improved than before. The two consecutive battles were not large in scale, but they showed

There are too many problems and more areas that need to be adjusted. Coupled with some new recruits joining the army, Yang Zhen believes that the combat effectiveness of his army is now declining instead of rising.

Regardless of the fact that my troops are all wearing Type 90 steel helmets, the small number of Fengtian-made Liao Type 13 rifles in my hands have all been replaced by Type 38. The military uniforms on my body are no longer various and tattered, but full sets.

Yang Zhen took off his collar insignia and military rank, replacing them with two pieces of red cloth and the Japanese Kwantung Army uniform, but Yang Zhen knew that at least for now, his army still did not have the strength to compete head-on with the Japanese army. This army still lacked too many things.

In a frontal battle, even though you have thousands of people in your hands, in terms of attacking fortifications, I am afraid that even a Japanese squadron cannot deal with it. In terms of face-to-face field battles, two Japanese squadrons can defeat your own troops. What you need most now

What is important is time, giving yourself some time to settle down and train. Even if it is just two months.

In the battle of Zhoujiayingzi, he had superior troops and firepower, but he faced only a squadron of Japanese troops. Although he adopted ambush tactics, he suffered nearly a hundred casualties after the battle.

In terms of the number of people killed in battle alone, it was indeed much less than the Japs who were undoubtedly wiped out. But in terms of overall casualties, they were almost one to one with the Japs. Although this number made Yang Zhen feel a little embarrassed, he knew

, this is a comparison of the true strength of the two armies.

They sent away a large number of supplies and wounded people seized in Weihe County, led by the current director of the Political Department Peng Dingjie, and escorted by a company of troops, as well as the kidnapped doctors and new recruits in need of training, back to Ning'an Laohedingzi Mountain.

Behind the team in the secret camp, Yang Zhen stood on a hilltop of Daguokui Mountain. Looking at the team that had disappeared into the long night, he sighed secretly in his heart: "Time does not wait for us."

Yang Zhen was not too worried about whether Peng Dingjie could lead the team to Laohedingzi Mountain safely. The marching routes he had planned along the way were all in deep mountains and dense forests, not just the Japanese and puppet troops in Weihe County in Wei'an Mountain.

During the First World War, they were almost cleaned up by themselves, and some Puppet Manchukuo soldiers and police from Ning'an and Zhuhe were also brought with them. Before the Japanese soldiers returned the Japanese and puppet troops that blocked the Xiajiang area, the Weihe River was still relatively empty. This

As long as he is careful along the way and doesn't get too greedy, there shouldn't be any big problems.

To be honest, Yang Zhen didn't want to let Peng Dingjie go at this time. But this batch of supplies was too important. This batch included a large amount of grain, cloth, ammunition, supplies, medicines, weapons and equipment, and more than 2,000 pieces of captured Japanese winter clothing.

The supplies are the capital that the troops can survive in the severe cold of the northern Manchuria winter. Yang Zhen was really worried about sending others.

However, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile a little when he thought of what Zhang Ting said when escorting the injured to the senior classmate before leaving. Although this person was a complete nerd, what he said was not unreasonable.

"The fact that we don't want to sign up to join the army does not mean that we are willing to be obedient citizens of the Japanese army, nor does it mean that we are afraid of death. But since the September 18th Incident, the Northeast Army abandoned its defense in the Northeast, there have been many anti-Japanese teams, but if one family did not gather first and then disperse, then

Has your family brought hope to the people of Northeast China?"

"The Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army was so powerful back then, but what was the result? They retreated to disintegration, surrendered the enemy, and ran to the side of the Japanese? And now the Anti-Japanese Alliance? So what is the result? Even if it is in the Japanese newspapers

Their achievements are all bragging, but those traitors, even the division commanders rebelled, it shouldn’t be false, right? Also, those who were killed in rivers of blood in Weihe County were all resisters."

"It rises and falls, and falls and rises again. They are all insisting, and they are all claiming that they will be able to drive the Japanese out of the Northeast. But what is the outcome? But it is disappointment again and again. When the heart is cold, it will

Don’t think about anything, just think about living peacefully.”

"I participated in the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and had the opportunity to retreat to the Soviet Union with my superiors. But I did not retreat to the Soviet Union with the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. Because I am Chinese, even if I die, I will die on my own land. I hope,

As long as we are given hope, none of us will be willing to be an obedient citizen of the Japanese."

Hearing this guy's words before leaving, Yang Zhen and those present Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun, and Peng Dingjie fell silent. After a long time, Yang Zhen raised his head and said to this stubborn-looking scholar: "I can't promise to give you or

Many people hope, but I will try my best to do it. I believe that as long as we don't give up easily, one day we will completely drive the Japanese out of China. And I also believe that this day will not be too far away.

"

"But if we do nothing just because we are disappointed, then our disaster-ridden country is truly hopeless. I can assure you that as long as I have one breath left, I will never give up resistance. I hope you

Stay and see our efforts. If we still can't give you hope, I will let you go."

After sending away the man who wanted hope, Yang Zhen stood silently on the top of the mountain. It was not until Peng Dingjie and his party could no longer be seen that he turned his head to face the doctor. After hearing what the doctor said, he remained silent.

Li Yanping said silently: "Political commissar, they have gone far. It's time for us to study the next action plan."

When he heard Yang Zhen talking to him, Li Yanping, who had just been looking at the stars in the sky absentmindedly, nodded, turned around and went down the mountain without saying anything. Although the nerd's words were a bit excessive, they told the truth.

Thinking about what he had experienced since the Western Expedition, Li Yanping felt very heavy.

After going down the mountain, Yang Zhen and others got into a simple tent temporarily built by Xiaohuzi with raincloths. They turned on their flashlights and looked at the map and said to Li Yanping: "Political Commissar, when we take Weihe County this time, we will not only supplement the

The large amount of supplies also attracted the attention of the Japanese and attracted their attention from the Xiajiang area."

"But there is a saying that it is called drawing fire to one's body. Although we can reduce the pressure on the Second and Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Jidong and Beiman areas by taking Weihe County, it will also attract the focus of the Japanese to us. No matter from that point of view,

The Japanese who will not allow us to become powerful are bound to attack us on all sides. So in the next step we must consider how to get rid of the Japanese's heavy attack on us."

"You see, this is where we are currently. And we are now in the middle of several Japanese railway lines. There is not much room for maneuver around us. Once the Japanese adopt a situation of encirclement from all sides, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us.

.So I thought we had to jump out, jump outside and then make plans."

Several people understood Yang Zhen's analysis. The dangers pointed out by Yang Zhen were also discerned by several people. As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, Li Yanping on the side said first: "Old Yang, your analysis

It’s accurate. We captured Weihe County in this battle and also captured Weihe. Most of the Japanese and puppet troops in Ning’an and the Japanese will definitely not let us go.”

"In the plains, we can't fight head-on with the Japanese who have planes, cavalry, and cars, and the plains are not conducive to our concealment. I think the best option for us is to go north and cross the Binsui Railway to meet the Third Route Army.

Convergence. Or move closer to the east, closer to the troops of the Second Route Army remaining in the Jidong area, so as to rely on each other."

"Although the Jidong area is a key area for Japanese attacks, it can support and coordinate operations with the First Route Army in southern Manchuria and the Third Route Army in northern Manchuria. Moreover, the mountains here are crisscrossed. To the north, you can enter the Xing'an Mountains and the Laoye Mountains.

The Third Route Army there is close. We can go south to Changbai Mountain to join the First Route Army. For us, the room for maneuver is not much larger than here."

Regarding Li Yanping's thoughts, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Getting closer is necessary, but not now. We can't be like children, who are bullied outside and can't beat others, so we hide back home."

"Besides, the Japanese are not fools. They probably expected that we would retreat eastward and advance north. They would inevitably place heavy troops on our eastward retreat and advance northward routes, waiting for us to fall into their traps."

"My suggestion is that we not only cannot go east and north, but also go south and west. The Japanese will encircle and suppress us heavily. This is for sure. But no matter how tight the blockade is, there will be gaps. We can only continue to

Only by carrying out the movement and tearing apart the Japanese blockade can we have a chance to get closer to our superiors. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to escape unscathed, but we will even expose the location of our superiors."

After Yang Zhen finished speaking, Li Yanping stared at the map for a long time before saying: "Old Yang, tell me what you think. I know that you, Old Yang, are capable of fighting and have great military skills. However, I still want to remind you that we are heading west

, not only do we have to enter the plains where it is difficult to hide, but we also have to enter the core areas that are tightly controlled by the Japs. Lao Yang, it is difficult for us to confront the Japs head-on in the plains."

"Political Commissar, nothing is absolute. You are a top student at the Eastern University in Moscow, and you must have studied dialectics. In the plains, indeed at least for now, we are unable to compete with the Japanese. But can we say that our army is in the mountains and forests?

Have you always had the advantage when competing with the Japanese? I'm afraid that's not necessarily true."

"Our main means of combat against the Japanese is the ambush. Political Commissar, you are the main commander of this Western Expedition. Have you been ambushed by the Japanese and puppet troops during this Western Expedition? There must have been a few times, right?

According to the rules we have always believed, we should ambush the Japs. How could the Japs ambush us, and in the mountainous areas we are good at? But the fact is that not only have we been ambushed by the Japs, but not once. So,

We should think about problems based on the actual situation instead of always sticking to the rules."

"You are right. It is difficult for us to compete head-on with the Japanese in the plains. And most of the plains are areas that are tightly defended by the Japanese. But I did not say that we actually entered the plains around Harbin, nor did we say that we would enter the plains around Harbin.

We must fight head-on with the Japanese in the plains."

"My idea is very simple, that is, we must not only march westward, but also march westward with great fanfare to divert the Japs' attention and troops from the mountainous areas. After we capture Weihe County, it is inevitable that the Japs will mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress us.

.”

"Our move westward is to mobilize the enemy through a large number of frequent movements. Let the enemy be confused about our true intentions and create conditions for us to finally move eastward. Otherwise, if we find a way to mobilize the enemy, we will directly move eastward. The enemy will tightly blockade us.

Under this situation, we will inevitably make the same mistake as the Western Expeditionary Force."

"When the enemy is strong and we are weak, guerrilla warfare is a more suitable tactic. But we cannot just fight guerrilla warfare, but must combine mobile warfare with guerrilla warfare. However, there is one thing we must pay attention to. That is, we

The fist can be punched out, but the butt still cannot leave the mountain no matter what. This is why I left a secret camp in Laoheidingzi Mountain and also left Lao Peng behind."

"Judging from the current situation, I don't think we need to confront the Japs head-on whether we are moving westward or southward. We can attract the Japs' attention by attacking the pioneering regiments and group tribes, and then wait for the heavy Japanese and puppet troops to be attracted.

After that, we will look for an opportunity to retreat eastward."

At this point, Yang Zhen pointed to the map and said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, you have to catch the enemy personally. We are far from being able to compare with the Japanese in terms of sources of human intelligence, but we can capture some of the Japanese through several battles.

The puppet army's code is used to monitor the Japanese telegrams as much as possible."

"In the eyes of the Japanese, we are just a group of bandits, and we are not worthy of becoming opponents of their regular army. I think the Japanese will not take too many precautions when communicating. They will not use too high-level passwords. And for the sake of convenience, they will attack the puppet Manchukuo army."

surveillance, and the Japanese will not equip the puppet Manchukuo military and police with high-level passwords."

"So Lao Guo, you have to find a way to seize as many codes as possible with what you have on hand, and try your best to decipher the Japanese and puppet army's telegrams. Try to create conditions for our actions. Our current intelligence sources are too few, and our methods are too limited.

single."

"Otherwise, if we only rely on the underground party's limited information that is relayed back and forth by traffic officers, let alone anything else, we will not be able to afford to wait for a while. For some information, by the time the traffic officers find us, I am afraid that the day lily will be cold.

So. So Lao Guo, since we can't find the clairvoyant, you must find a way to get us a pair of ears when we get there."

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun nodded and said: "I will try my best. However, the Japanese found out that the code book was lost and they must change the code. Although I have researched the code, I am not a professional after all. I can only do my best."

In response to Guo Bingxun's answer, Yang Zhen nodded and then turned to Wang Guangyu and said: "Old Wang, you have rich experience in guerrilla warfare. I think that for our operation, you will be responsible for breaking up the rear and taking in the stragglers. Once the contact with the main force is lost,

Cut off, there is no need to forcefully search for us. You can lead a team and take advantage of the small number of people to hide, and look for an opportunity to return east. If that doesn't work, just hide on the spot.
