A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was early December, the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China.
The moon was bright and the stars were dim, and the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Battalion were rushing northwestward under the cover of night.
In the past few days, the Baoshan camp, which stays up day and night, has rushed more than 300 miles northwest. The Shanghai-Nanjing Railway connecting Nanjing and Shanghai is already in sight. After crossing the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, not far north, we will reach the Yangtze River.
, after crossing the Yangtze River, it is the defense zone of the national army, and Yue Weihan and the defeated troops of Baoshan Camp will be safe.
In the final stage of the Songhu Battle, due to the hasty retreat of the Nationalist Army, they did not even bother to blow up the railway lines. As a result, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway became the main transportation artery for the Japanese army to transport personnel and materials to the front line.
If conditions permit, Yue Weihan would not mind staying and fighting guerrillas along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway for a period of time.
However, this idea only flashed in Yue Weihan's mind and then disappeared. Although the desire to stay in the Songhu area to fight guerrillas was wonderful, the reality was cruel. If Yue Weihan and Baoshan Camp really chose to stay, at most half
Within a few months, the Japanese's suppression troops would chew them up to the last bit.
In an international metropolis like Shanghai, there is absolutely no soil for guerrillas to survive.
Because Shanghai has not only railway lines, but also a criss-crossing road network, as well as water networks extending in all directions. Once the whereabouts of the Baoshan Battalion are exposed, the Japanese troops will swoop in from all directions. There is no jungle to penetrate here.
, there is no big mountain to hide in, and when the time comes, even if you want to hide, you won’t be able to find a place, and it will be a dead end!
When Yue Weihan was immersed in his journey, Hua Hanlin, the leader of the vanguard platoon who was responsible for exploring the road, suddenly turned back and reported breathlessly: "At the camp, there is... something is going on ahead."
"Hide!" Yue Weihan gave the order, and the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Battalion who were rushing forward suddenly dispersed.
Yue Weihan then asked Hua Hanlin in a deep voice, "What's going on ahead?"
"I can't tell." Hua Hanlin shook his head and said, "You'd better go and see the camp yourself."
Yue Weihan nodded and ordered all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to rest on the spot. Then he took Chi Chengfeng and other company commanders as well as guard platoon leader Liu Tiezhu, and followed Hua Hanlin to a short hill in front that was not too high.
On the short hill, a large piece of light came into view of Yue Weihan and others. I bet there was a Japanese camp hidden on the back of this short hill.
However, the Japanese camps are still far apart, at least more than ten miles away.
Soon, Yue Weihan discovered that something was wrong. This Japanese camp seemed to be no ordinary camp!
Through the telescope, one can clearly see that there are a row of tanks, armored cars, large trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles parked around the station. There are actually a row of tractor-trailers and heavy howitzers parked to the north of the station. What makes Yue Weihan secretly shocked.
However, due to the security level of this Japanese camp, the guard post was actually placed several kilometers away, and there were many sentries surrounding the camp. The searchlights on the watchtower kept firing back and forth, illuminating the area for miles around as bright as day.
What's even more frightening is that there are several armored vehicles patrolling back and forth around the station.
This kind of alert level is considered human, and even a mouse would have a hard time sneaking in.
Putting down the telescope, Yue Weihan couldn't help but ponder. This Japanese garrison is definitely not that simple. From the structure, it doesn't look like an arsenal, let alone a field station. It looks like a temporary Japanese headquarters! Headquarters!? For a moment, Yue Weihan
His heart began to beat violently.
What level should the Japs headquarters be under such tight security?
It is impossible for the Japs' regiment or brigade headquarters to have such a high level of alert. The Japs' division headquarters may be possible, but aren't the main divisions of the Japs at the front line at this time? The Japs
The division and regiment headquarters usually move with the troops. The troops are on the front line. How can the headquarters be hundreds of miles away in the rear?
Uncontrollably, a heart-pounding inference appeared in Yue Weihan's mind.
If this is not the headquarters of the Central China Front Army Commander-in-Chief Matsui Iwane, it must be the headquarters of the newly arrived Shanghai Condemnation Army Commander Asaka Miyakohiko, because the attack direction of the Tenth Army of the Central China Front Army is Xuancheng, Wuhu,
Therefore, it is impossible for the headquarters of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the Tenth Army, to appear in Kunshan.
Judging from the time, Matsui Iwane should still be recuperating in Shanghai, so Asaka Miya Hatohiko is the most likely!
At present, the two armies of the Japanese should have captured Changzhou and Xuancheng, Wuhu and Nanjing have been opened, and the area from Kunshan to Jiading has become the rear area of the Japanese. The commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Army, Chaoxiang Palace Jiuyan, also serves as
In order to capture the commander-in-chief of Nanjing, it is completely reasonable for him to move the headquarters forward.
"Grandma, this little devil has such a big battle!" Chi Chengfeng has great eyesight. Although he doesn't have a telescope, he can still see everything that can be seen clearly with the naked eye. He immediately exclaimed, "It's better than the last time we blew up
The Japanese base is much more impressive, Yingzuo, do you think this could be the headquarters of some Japanese high official?"
Yue Weihan didn't say a word, but he was already making rapid calculations in his mind.
The camp in front is most likely the temporary headquarters of Asaka Palace Kituhiko. Yue Weihan knows very well about this kid who was born in the Japanese royal family, because the real culprit of the tragic Nanjing Massacre was actually this kid, and
The old devil Matsui Iwane just took the blame for him.
There is ironclad evidence of this in history. Before the attack on Nanjing, Matsui Iwane issued the "Guidelines for the Strategy of Nanjing City", which specifically mentioned the need to strictly enforce military discipline in the troops, so that the Chinese soldiers and civilians would respect and surrender to the might of the imperial army, and clearly stated
It was pointed out that we should have a tolerant and compassionate attitude towards the soldiers of the national army who have surrendered, and indiscriminate killing is strictly prohibited.
After the fall of Nanjing, Matsui Iwane once reprimanded the Japanese soldiers with tears when he paid homage to the fallen soldiers: "You fought hard and hard to enhance the imperial power, but the atrocities of some soldiers destroyed the imperial power in one fell swoop!"
More importantly, after the fall of Nanjing, the order to kill all captured personnel was also signed by Asaka Palace Jiuhiko. It was this order signed by Jiuhiko that "in principle, no prisoners will be retained" that finally made the Japanese army's brutal behavior out of control.
, the initial massacre of prisoners of war evolved into a massacre of civilians, and eventually led to the brutal Nanjing Massacre.
It can be seen that Matsui Iwane, who was recuperating in Shanghai at the time and had effectively resigned as the supreme commander of the Central China Front, did not agree with the massacre of prisoners of war and even civilians. As for why he did not stop Asaka Miya Hatuhiko, the reason was that no one
I know, but the most likely reason is that he was under pressure from the Japanese base camp, because Asaka Miyakohiko's uncle was the then Chief of General Staff of the Japanese Army, Prince Kanin Gongzaihito.
Immediately, Yue Weihan's mind began to agitate uncontrollably. As long as Asaka Miyakohiko is killed, the "Nanjing City Strategy Essentials" issued by Matsui Iwane may be truly implemented, and then the Nanjing Massacre will have a chance to be avoided. This is for
For Yue Weihan, it was a temptation he could not refuse!
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate the Japanese army's bestiality, but without the devil Asaka Miyakohiko, the possibility of the Japanese army launching the Nanjing Massacre again will definitely be much reduced, and even if the massacre is unavoidable,
At least it will buy the national army in Nanjing some time to solidify their defenses, right?
As long as the national army in Nanjing can hold on for a period of time, not too long, and as long as the refugees stranded in Nanjing can be evacuated in time, the Japanese army will not be able to kill them even if they want to.
After everyone ran away, why not kill them all? In this way, wouldn’t the Nanjing Massacre be avoided?
For a moment, there was only one voice left in Yue Weihan's mind - Fuck the bastard Asaka Gong Jiuyan to death!
Even if it cost the lives of all the officers and soldiers of Baoshan Battalion for this, even if it costs him his own life, Yue Weihan will not hesitate.
Frankly speaking, Yue Weihan is very afraid of death, and he is very greedy for life and afraid of death. However, a man can do something or not, as long as the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre can be prevented from happening again, as long as it can be exchanged for dozens of lives in Nanjing.
Why would Yue Weihan regret dying for the lives of Wanfu fellow villagers? Why would all the officers and soldiers of Baoshan Battalion regret dying?
…
PS: Let’s take a guess, can Yue Weihan kill Asaka Gong Jiuyan? If so, what method is most likely?
