This is an era when resources and entertainment are extremely scarce. Although Bei'an is called a transportation hub, it is just a county with a population of less than 50,000. After ten o'clock in the evening, it is already dark outside the city, and there are only four cities in the east, west, north and south.
There were lights coming from the gate, the Japs' camp and the train station outside the south gate.
Major General Masanori Morita, commander of the third mixed brigade, frowned and looked at the phone in front of him in a daze.
In the past, Bei'an City could easily connect to any place in Manchuria through the telephone lines laid next to the railway. However, soon after the Chinese army occupied Aihui City, Bei'an's external communication links were inexplicably interrupted. No matter how many people were sent to repair the phone lines
, all to no avail.
At the beginning, there was a tremor, and all the soldiers in the brigade were driven into trenches outside the city, light and dark bunkers, and city walls to carry out tight defense. However, after so many days of effort, there was still no Chinese army attacking the city, and the people below began to complain.
, persisted for two more days, and even the two captains of the 25th and 26th Regiments, who had always been determined, quit, so at four o'clock this afternoon, Morita Masanori had to withdraw his troops to the city for rest and recuperation.
Then continue to send communications troops to repair the telephone lines.
But a few hours have passed, and until now, the phone still cannot contact the outside world. I used a telegram to report to the Kwantung Army headquarters. The news I got was that the main force was encircling and suppressing the base of the Chinese guerrillas - Guokui Mountain east of Mudanjiang. Sir
Once a breakthrough is made in the ridge area, they will take advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit. The Chinese army will obtain food and supplies, and the Sanjiang Plain, which they depend on for survival, will return to the control of the empire again, and then it will deal a devastating blow to the Chinese guerrillas who have fled to various places.
Major General Morita Masanori knew that this was an action plan formulated by the Kwantung Army Headquarters to defeat them one by one. The central idea was to concentrate the troops on one road and use thunderous momentum to deal a devastating blow to the main enemy and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
, instead of launching an all-out attack regardless of priority, resulting in heavy thunder and little rain, it gives the opponent the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
From a strategic point of view, this is undoubtedly a wise move, but for me, who is guarding Bei'an City, it is a kind of painful suffering. Although my mixed brigade seems to have two regiments, in fact, its strength has long been eliminated.
The troops were all depleted, and now the total number of troops is less than 3,000. In addition, the Puppet Manchukuo army of more than 5,000 people, which does not have much combat power, has to deal with the Chinese guerrillas who conquered the well-defended Aihui City in just one day.
Being the main player of the team is really difficult.
Although it was a bit discouraging to say this, the grim reality told Masanori Morita that he was not facing ordinary guerrillas, but a powerful army armed with light and heavy equipment from the Soviet Far East Red Army. This fighter plane came from Harbin to Aihui for reinforcements.
It can be seen from the annihilation of the entire army that the opponent is equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons and its strength is unpredictable.
Just when Major General Masanori Morita was worrying about gains and losses, intensive shelling suddenly came from the north direction of the city. It was the familiar sound of the Empire's 75mm mountain cannon.
Morita Masanori was surprised and hurriedly picked up the phone - although Bei'an was unable to communicate with the outside world, there was still no problem with internal calls in the county. Listening to the sounds outside, it should be that the main force of the Chinese guerrillas was attacking the city, and he wanted to mobilize
The troops quickly gathered to give the Chinese a head-on attack, but to his disappointment, there was no sound from the microphone.
Due to the sensitivity of the military, Morita Masanori immediately grabbed his pistol and rushed outside the command department. However, before he could reach the door, the house was hit by a rapid mortar shell.
Even to his death, Morita Masanori never understood what happened and why he was attacked by enemy mortars in the county town.
The death of the Japanese commander did not stop the artillery fire. After more than ten minutes of shelling, the Japanese command headquarters set up at the Bei'an County Government soon turned into a ruins with thick gunpowder smoke.
It turned out that, taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army's withdrawal, the newly formed special brigade of the Fifth Division to rescue the Japanese army entered the county and lurked quietly. When night fell, all the Japanese troops, who were already exhausted after days of suffering, couldn't wait to lie down.
The Japanese soldiers who were standing guard on the city tower had already been seriously exhausted. They lay down on various parts of the city wall to sleep. As a result, they were stabbed one by one by the officers and soldiers of the special brigade and sent to see the King of Hell.
Soon, the city gate was opened, and the Fifth Division troops entered Bei'an City, quickly occupied the commanding heights outside each military camp, set up mortars, 75mm mountain guns, and field guns, and fired at the Japanese military camps.
After being bombed, the sleeping Japanese soldiers got up from the bed one after another, picked up their guns from the gun racks, and rushed out like headless flies. They were greeted by densely falling artillery shells and rain of bullets sprayed by light and heavy machine guns, which made them even more confused.
What people find terrifying is that there are tanks running rampant, harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers wantonly.
This battle was fought extremely easily, because the Japanese troops in Bei'an City were completely wiped out before they could even use their artillery and light and heavy machine guns. The Fifth Division occupied Bei'an, a major Japanese transportation town, at a very small cost and captured a large number of Japanese and puppet troops.
, and seized countless firearms, ammunition, food and supplies.
Early the next morning, there was just a glimmer of light in the sky. After hearing the gunshots in the middle of the night, people who walked out of their houses in fear saw the rescuers and soldiers cleaning the streets. They all had smiling faces and were friendly, so they plucked up the courage to step forward.
Asked, when they heard that the county town was successfully recaptured by the Chinese *** team, the people of all ethnic groups who had been bullied by the Japanese invaders were excited. The whole city was filled with cheering crowds, and they were almost breathless after being violently conquered and oppressed by the Japanese invaders.
The Beian people even set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Seeing that the army in front of her was kind to everyone, answered all questions, and took the initiative to ask if she needed help. A lonely old lady tried to ask Brother Da Bing to help her repair her leaky house. Unexpectedly, Brother Da Bing readily agreed.
After coming down, a squad of soldiers soon arrived at the door of the eldest mother's house. They brought the grasshoppers and ladders, carefully climbed up to the roof, and began to repair the roof with the grasshoppers. It took more than an hour to finish.
Watching the soldiers leaving with sweat profusely, without even a mouthful of hot water, the old lady felt grateful and ashamed at the same time. She always said good things about the soldiers when she met people. It didn't take long before everyone in the county knew about this group of soldiers.
The officers and soldiers are the people's own team. In the history of Bei'an, there has never been such a team that loves the people like their own children. So they took the initiative to help the troops carry supplies, strengthen the city defenses, and deliver water and meals to the soldiers in an endless stream.
Absolutely.
The so-called joint construction of the army and the people means mutual care. The army soon organized the distribution of food, publicized the anti-war ideology, and mobilized the masses to join the army to fight the Japanese.
However, the people in Bei'an City still don't know that those who stayed in Bei'an at this time were only a supplementary regiment under the 5th Division to rescue the Japanese. After the main force captured Bei'an, there was no pause and they immediately divided into two groups. Follow the railway to the west to attack Fuyu County, and the other way to the south to attack Suihua, striving to capture a few more cities at the southern foot of the Lesser Khingan Mountains and expand the size of the base area before the Kwantung Army reacts.
In the early morning, emergency information came from the Fourth Hall. A large number of Japanese fighters were stationed at Shenyang Airport. No later than noon tomorrow, the Japanese troops in Harbin will receive strong support from the air force. The Fourth and Seventh Divisions that have penetrated deep into Jilin and Liaoning areas and the various ministries of the Anti-Japanese Federation, received a seemingly absurd order - to plunder the people in the plains surrounding the troops, bring them uniformly to the Far East of Soviet Russia, and distribute seeds and labor tools according to the fields. Each household has The land ownership will be protected by the Far East government, and the newly reclaimed land will also belong to the reclaimers.
After discussions between the top brass of the SAF and the Soviet Far East Military District Headquarters via the radio, a no-man's land of tens of miles will be created in the plains between the SAF, various departments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Japanese army. If we firmly control the Sino-Soviet border, which has a difficult terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there will be no problems with logistical support. Then we will make full use of the advantages of mountain warfare and try our best to drag the Japanese troops around in various mountains and hills in the Northeast. Thinness drags on, sickness drags on, and sickness drags on death.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly severe, Hu Jiyang quickly decided to capture the entire mountainous area in northern Heilongjiang Province first, and then rely on the Lesser Khingan Mountains and the Greater Khingan Mountains for defense. If the battle situation failed, it would not be too late to slowly transfer the people. The larger the territory occupied, the deeper the strategic depth. The wider the border, the more people under its jurisdiction, and the better the army can be supplemented with supplies and soldiers. On the contrary, if all the people are relocated, the army will have to rely on Soviet Russia to provide assistance in the future. Hu Jiyang always feels that this will be very difficult. Dangerous, it feels uncomfortable to be choked by someone.
The Sixth Division seemed to have the same idea as the Fifth Division. The division commander, Colonel He Yifei, took the initiative to contact the Fifth Division and asked for help in attacking Suihua City. Since Suihua City was well-defended, it was the most important fortress of the Japanese army in the northern part of Harbin, and he knew the stakes. Hu Jiyang, who was well connected, agreed without hesitation. This time, the Fifth Division dispatched the troops going south, which are also the most elite mechanized troops of the Fifth Division. They strive to quickly clear the towns north of Suihua before dawn, and then the troops rest on the spot. Waiting for nightfall, together with the Sixth Division, they took Suihua.
The troops were extremely fast, and there were trains to quickly mobilize troops. By 8 a.m. on the 19th, Keshan to the west of Bei'an, Yi'an County, and Hailun County to the south were all under the control of the Fifth Division.
...
"The broadsword cuts off the heads of the devils. Brothers armed across the country, the day of the war of resistance has come. The day of the war of resistance has come. In front are the anti-Japanese saviors, and behind are the common people of the whole country. We, the ** The *people march forward bravely, spot the enemy, destroy him, destroy him, charge! Cut off the heads of the devils with the big sword, kill! Hey!"
In Bei'an County, the red flag was waving, and the staff of the Communist Party of China laid lines overnight. The loudspeakers all over the center of the county and at the four corners of the city wall sang loudly.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, in accordance with the action program of anti-Japanese and Japanese rescue, the Provisional Government of Bei'an County was formally established. Government officials were temporarily served by political workers in the rescue. Once the members of the government and parliament were elected in accordance with the three-thirds system, the provisional government
Will transfer power to the anti-Japanese communist government.
After an overnight surprise interrogation, some of the former puppet government members who had blood debts and committed heinous crimes were identified, together with 29 people who were designated as "Chinese traitors", as well as four tyrant landlords, local tyrants and evil gentry near Bei'an City who were extremely indignant.
, were publicly arrested. The reason why it is not called "Han traitor" here is because there are many ethnic minorities in Heilongjiang. Now we can only use the big framework of the Chinese nation to refer to people of all ethnic groups. If we say they are traitors, many of them are not even Han.
Where is the theory of spies? Naturally, the degree of recognition is greatly reduced.
In order to quickly establish a foothold in Bei'an and at the same time firmly bind themselves and the local people to everything, the officers and soldiers of the Communist Party of China actively mobilized the masses to expose the crimes of these people. At first, no one from the simple people dared to come forward, but
Seeing that the provisional government really made the decision for them, especially when they saw the burning of land deeds, land deeds, debt books, etc., gradually some people began to complain to the government. In the end, there were more and more people, and the anger was getting bigger and bigger. Seeing the opportunity
Basically mature, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Bei'an Provisional Government held a public trial and sentencing meeting in the county seat.
Around the venue, large posters printed by the Syrian government and transported by freighters were posted showing the Japanese troops burning, killing, and looting Japanese troops in various parts of Northeast and North China. In order to prevent a cold scene, the Communist Party Department also specially arranged for some soldiers to mingle with the crowd and fan the flames.
, guide the direction of the wind.
The first group to be escorted to the stage were the more than a hundred Japanese prisoners captured last night, as well as the domineering Japanese businessmen in the city. These guys had their hands tied behind their backs and lined up facing the people. The Japanese were unruly.
, with a fierce look in his eyes, staring at the people in the audience fiercely, with a look of "what can you do to me?"
"Fathers and fellow villagers!"
From the loudspeakers towering on both sides of the high platform, the rich voice of Major Liu Yicheng, deputy director of the Fifth Division's Security Department, the county magistrate of the provisional government, came.
"We are a team to resist Japan and save Japan, and are the people's own team. The most important charter of our team is to serve the people wholeheartedly, fight against Japan, kill the enemy, and defend our country. No matter what your profession, what beliefs you have, or what family background you have,
As long as you are unwilling to be a slave to the subjugation of the country and are determined to fight against Japan and kill the enemy, we welcome you to join our team."
Under the leadership of the nurse arranged by the *** department, warm applause came from the crowd.
Major Liu Yicheng paused for a moment, then suddenly pointed at the Japanese and asked, "Folks, do you know what they are?"
"It's a devil!"
People can't help but answer.
"Yes, they are fucking devils! Heartless devils! These bastards originally stayed on a few desert islands, but they didn't want us Chinese to live a prosperous life, so they rushed to our land to run wild.
As early as the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, they occupied our Korean Peninsula, Taiwan Island and Ryukyu Island. By September 18th, they occupied our three northeastern provinces and occupied the city of Bei'an where our ancestors had lived for generations. They burned, killed, and looted, and committed all kinds of evil. On weekdays,
He took pleasure in killing people and raping women when he had nothing to do, and he owed a lot of blood debt. Look at the pictures around you, they are all good things done by the Japanese."
"Kill them!"
"Kill these beasts!"
Angry roars came from the crowd, gradually getting louder and louder, and the Japanese looked increasingly frightened and uneasy.
"Folks! They are beasts, no, they are not even worse than beasts. Today we caught them, and some people said that they are prisoners and should be treated kindly and not killed! Can we agree?"
"No!"
The crowd roared loudly.
"Yes! We will definitely not agree! In our military regulations for resisting Japan and rescuing Japan, there is indeed a provision that prohibits the killing of prisoners of war, but this provision does not apply to these things that are worse than beasts! Today, I will
Take the initiative and kill these little devils in front of everyone to comfort the souls of the Northeastern people who died innocently and tragically!"
All the Japanese people on the stage had a look of fear and despair in their eyes, but soon someone among them took the lead and sang "Ki no Dai" loudly, and those Japanese people seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.
, raise your heads together and sing loudly.
Liu Yicheng stopped the soldiers who were about to stop him, turned to the microphone and said: "Folks, listen to this song, the little devils are singing this song to invade China and murder our compatriots. Until now, they have not yet died.
I want to repent, but I still fantasize about oppressing us for generations, can we agree?"
The crowd below heard the Japanese singing their favorite song again, and they didn't know what it meant. But after hearing the soldier's translation and Liu Yicheng's explanation, they suddenly became angry.
As Liu Yicheng announced that he would hand over these Japs to the people of Bei'an to avenge them, tens of thousands of people rushed forward, grabbing each other, pulling the Japs off the high platform, punching and kicking them crazily, and soon one by one the Japs were
Some of the Japanese who were so badly infuriated by the public that their bodies were completely bruised were captured by the big and thick Northeastern men, their limbs and heads were seized, and their bodies were quartered, with their red and green intestines flowing all over the floor.
When they saw that it was almost done, the law enforcement team came forward, identified each one of them, and chopped off all the heads of these Japanese people. In this way, according to Japanese custom, their souls could never return to their Amaterasu.
The people's anger was vented and they gave out earth-shattering cheers.
Liu Yicheng was very satisfied with this scene. The reason why Hu Jiyang confessed before setting off that he wanted to kill the Japs captured in this battle was because the Japanese had lost the initiative in the Northeast battlefield. In the old days, the Japs were the ones using waste.
The labor method is no longer feasible. The Army Headquarters of the National Liberation Army has made a decision that the Jixi, Shuangyashan, Hegang and other mines will be blown up before the arrival of the Japanese army. Rather than leaving these Japanese soldiers to waste food in vain, it is better to go through public trials.
method and quickly gained public recognition.
There is also a sinister motive in this, which is to stain the hands of the Bei'an people with the blood of the Japanese. If the Japanese army counterattacks in the future, the people will definitely worry about the revenge of the Japanese. Then the people will be mobilized to move.
Much easier.
The subsequent trial went extremely smoothly, and people are often unable to forgive the betrayal of those around them. For those traitors and bullies, people came to the high platform one after another and accused their crimes into the microphone. Slogans below were heard one after another, and people were furious. For these
For the scum, the provisional government adopted a more civilized approach, dragging them out and shooting them all. Acting County Magistrate Liu Yicheng's explanation was that although they were scum, they were still human beings, so they should leave their bodies intact!
His generosity in saving people quickly gained people's recognition.
The public trial meeting not only quickly won the recognition of the people of all ethnic groups in Bei'an for the rescuers, but also bundled the Bei'an people into their chariots in silence, and also used it to deter a large number of captured puppets who had committed minor crimes.
Army, they all asked to join the rescue force and wash away their shame in future battles. With almost no effort, the Fifth Division added more than 3,000 troops out of thin air. The harvest of this public trial conference was greatly exceeded.
It exceeded the expectations of the soldiers of the Fifth Division.
At the same time, similar dramas continued to be staged in the counties newly occupied by the Liberation Army, which made the Liberation Army famous and frightened the Chinese traitors and the Japanese and puppet troops.
