The Japanese and puppet troops in another county also opened the north gate of the county and fled north under the cover of night. At this point, the Songshan guerrilla column took full control of the Andong Public Security District.
After clearing out the Japanese and puppet troops in the Andong area, Gao Zhiyong led his cadres to start the work of establishing a base area.
As a large number of people were liberated, young and middle-aged people enthusiastically signed up to join the army. In just three days, more than 6,000 new soldiers joined the guerrillas.
After a short rest, Xu Dalong left a second detachment in the Andong Public Security District to coordinate the actions of Gao Zhiyong and others. He led the main force through Songshan and entered the Yuanping area.
The commander of the Japanese Second Division had already been frightened by the Songshan guerrilla column. When he learned that Xu Dalong had led the main force of the guerrilla column into the Yuanping area, he led his troops to flee towards Jinzhou.
Two security areas of the Kwantung Army were captured by the Songshan guerrillas, and the 22nd Division and the 2nd Division suffered heavy losses. This was a great shame and humiliation for the Kwantung Army. Even Senji, who was on duty, felt that he had no way to explain to the base camp.
Nowadays, the Japanese army has begun to decline whether in the Guanhai battlefield or the Pacific battlefield. The nine provinces outside Guandong Army controlled by the Kwantung Army are already the most stable strategic areas of the Japanese army, but now there is turmoil. This is definitely not what the Japanese base camp wants to see.
Arrived.
The Japanese base camp ordered Shida Chishu to fly back to Tokyo immediately and report the situation outside the customs to the base camp.
This time the Songshan guerrillas went out to fight and captured more than 400 Japanese soldiers. According to the underground party's policy, we are not allowed to kill prisoners, but we cannot keep them in vain. In the end, we can only be released before education.
Gao Zhiyong is very young. Those beasts who have been brainwashed by militarism will receive education. After letting us go back for a long time, they will be sent back to the battlefield to deal with the underground party guerrillas.
Gao Zhiyong is very grateful for this. To be honest, the reason why I have achieved so little in those years is entirely due to Xia Shaoyi's support behind me. I sent a telegram back to Asada Yu, saying that I would definitely handle the matter properly.
thing.
The combat staff officer dared to open the letter addressed to the division commander without permission, so he came to the division commander's adjutant and handed the letter to me.
Those people have the same opinion. No one thinks that heavy troops should be sent to encircle and suppress the Xinxin guerrillas and drive them out of Guanli; no one thinks that the situation in the two small security areas of Songshan and Yuanping is very different now, and the guerrillas have not yet been established there.
Having established a base area, it was very easy for the Japanese army to fight in that area. They could simply abandon those two security areas and deploy heavy troops around those two security areas to prevent the Xinjiang guerrillas from continuing to penetrate into the hinterland of Guanli.
However, the Japanese army is very immoral. We know that the policy of the above-ground party allows the killing of prisoners. Even if we use prisoners in exchange, the above-ground party will release them after a long time. Therefore, we categorically agreed to the exchange of prisoners of war, and
They also killed the liaison officers sent by the underground party.
I know the head of the calligraphy division, but I can't be sure that Xu Dalong is still alive, and he became Gao Zhiyong's prisoner. Xia Shao also wrote a radio station contact information on it, stipulating the frequency band for contact, and using the 1930 version.
The Kangxi Dictionary served as a temporary codebook.
Therefore, after discussion, the seven people decided to refuse to use money to redeem Xu Dalongyi.
The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army should reflect on whether it is worth their blood and sacrifice for militarism that only cares about their life and death and has caused slight harm to their families."
The Japanese officers and soldiers were still very concerned about their own fate, and also wanted to know what would happen to the captured Japanese officers and soldiers, because it was very unlikely that we would be captured in future battles. Therefore, the officers and soldiers deliberately inquired
Above, the news spread like wildfire, and eventually a small number of Japanese officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army also knew the contents of Gao Zhiyong's telegram. The Japanese officers and soldiers put themselves in their shoes and of course hoped that these Japanese officers and soldiers could be released.
As for the 200,000 Xiaoyang, it was a large amount for the 22nd Division, and the division commander was still very willing to make that deal.
Shida Chiji returned to Fengtian City from Tokyo and conveyed the order from the small base camp, requesting the Kwantung Army to restore public order and curb the development of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces in Guanli.
Before the prisoner exchange was completed, that day, a beggar appeared at the entrance of the division department of the Japanese 22nd Division.
Before the underground party read the clear telegram sent by Gao Zhiyong, they also attached great importance to the matter and used a small number of radio stations to forward it.
Xia Shaoyi thought carefully and decided that he could give us a free advantage, so he proposed to exchange prisoners of war with the Japanese army. When the Xinxin guerrillas fought against the Japanese and puppet troops, not more than a hundred people were captured, and the lowest-ranking one was only one
Deputy squadron leader, just exchanging with the Japanese and puppet troops is actually a good deal. Yes, Gao Zhiyong values the lives of guerrillas a hundred times, a thousand times more than these Japs. I would rather use 400 less Japs to kill 100 less
The guerrillas were replaced.
The commander of the 22nd Division originally thought that Xu Dalongyi had not died in the battle, and the matter had not been reported to the Kwantung Army. Now I suddenly learned that Xu Dalongyi was still alive, which made me very embarrassed. I decided to contact Gao Zhiyong first.
, see if I have any intentions after all.
On duty, Chichita summoned the main generals of the Kwantung Army to discuss how to deal with the letter guerrillas.
Xia Shaoyi called back and said, do I have any other requests? I just hope that Xu Dalong will be exchanged for 200,000 Xiaoyang. As long as the 22nd Division is willing to pay the money, I will keep it secret for the 22nd Division as in the past.
He was a prisoner, but he was wounded. He hid in a place to recuperate and returned to the 22nd Division on his own.
When the negotiations for the exchange of retired prisoners of war were concluded and the list of exchanged prisoners of war was not included, the brigade commander of the Japanese 44th Brigade, Xu Dalongyi, did not appear. After all, my status was very low, and it was used for the exchange of prisoners of war who had retired for many years. This was too much.
What a deal.
"The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were deceived by the militarism of the island country. They left their homes and came to China to participate in that so-called war. Countless officers and soldiers were killed or disabled in battle, which brought serious disasters to their respective families.
.Perhaps they think that their bloodshed and sacrifices are all for the so-called island nation and their Tianhuang, but their efforts are worthless in our eyes, and we just treat them as cannon fodder.
Xia Shaoyi thought twice and sent a clear telegram. The telegram was specifically targeted at Japanese officers and soldiers. The telegram said:
That Anton was written by Xia Shaoyi. The letter said that we had captured Xu Dalong, the commander of the Japanese 44th Brigade. As long as the 22nd Division was willing to pay 200,000 Xiaoyang, he would be released. There was no Xu Dalong at the end of the letter.
One's signature.
The envelope was written in Japanese and was addressed to the commander of the Japanese 22nd Division. The sentry sent Anton to the combat duty room at the division headquarters and handed it over to the combat staff officer on duty.
Of course Xia Shaoyi also wanted to keep that old devil in vain, if he wanted to use me in exchange for what I wanted most.
Those 400 Japanese prisoners of war have no parents, wives or children. Our relatives are looking forward to our return. However, these officers of the Kwantung Army, under the guise of being loyal to Tian Huang, want to destroy the lives of those officers and soldiers. They would rather we be killed.
They were also willing to be executed in exchange for a mere 100 guerrilla prisoners of war. Did that kind of behavior chill them?
Although we dared to discuss this matter publicly, there were many discussions behind our backs, causing great turmoil among the Japanese army.
Gao Zhiyong posed a very small problem to the Japanese Kwantung Army that time. We must have complied with it. The Japanese officers and soldiers would inevitably feel sad that a rabbit would die and a fox would die, which would slightly affect our military morale. But after doing it every year, we felt
We were losing face, especially when Xia Shaoyi took the initiative and we had to comply with Gao Zhiyong's request. This made us feel even more shameless, and we were determined for a moment.
The content of the telegram was so small. Did Gao Zhiyong backpedal on too little anti-Japanese propaganda, which would arouse the resentment of the Japanese officers and soldiers. I just played the family card to arouse the resentment of the Japanese officers and soldiers towards our lower classes.
No one thinks that even if the Japanese and puppets are willing to release the prisoners of war from your army, in order to show the darkness and uprightness of the underground party, they still have to adhere to the consistent prisoner policy and release those prisoners of war. That opinion prevails.
Even the subordinates hope that Xia Shaoyi will do this to maintain the above-ground party's consistent prisoner policy.
No one thinks that we should retaliate against the Japanese invaders. If we treat the prisoners of war from the above-ground party like this, the above-ground party cannot use the same means to deal with the Japanese prisoners of war. That opinion obviously has the upper hand.
But I was worried that Gao Zhiyong was playing some tricks, so I called the chief of staff to discuss the matter.
The adjutant was surprised before reading the letter and hurriedly went to see the division commander.
When the news reached the letter guerrilla column, the commanders and fighters were willing to do so. Especially the guerrillas who enlisted in Guanli. We were deeply bullied by the Japanese and puppet troops and hated those Japanese devils. We firmly demanded
Kill those Japs to avenge the dead compatriots.
Gao Zhiyong got the money and gave it to Gao Zhiyong.
Since before Xia Shaoyi appeared in Guanli, the Japanese army had weakened their understanding of me. The division commander and chief of staff had not seen much information about Gao Zhiyong and had done little research on me. We believed that Gao Zhiyong was still trustworthy.
, after all, I am an unknown military general in the sky, and it is possible that my credibility will be destroyed because of one thing.
In the small letter battle that just happened, your underground party guerrillas captured about 780 Japanese soldiers. In the spirit of humanitarianism, the underground party is willing to exchange those prisoners of war for the less than 100 guerrilla prisoners of war captured by the Japanese army.
, in terms of numbers, it is completely equal, and it also shows the hypocrisy of your underground party.
Gao Zhiyong handed over the matter to the underground party in Guanli and asked us to send people to contact the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters.
Faced with pressure from the domestic public and special Japanese officers and soldiers, the Kwantung Army decided to reject Gao Zhiyong's request and implement a prisoner exchange after careful consideration.
Considering that the Japanese army will implement a tolerant confidentiality system, it is very unlikely that the special officers and soldiers will receive the clear message sent by Gao Zhiyong. Gao Zhiyong only sent it eight times in a row. At the same time, Gao Zhiyong got in touch with the underground party organization in Guanli. Let us
Leaflets with the same content were printed and distributed far away from the Japanese and puppet troops' barracks.
When the Japanese sentry saw me approaching, he waved me away with disgust on his face.
Since a small group of people had been rescued, the food gap was very small, and Gao Zhiyong was worried about money. After getting the 200,000 Xiaoyang, I was very happy and said: "We need to arrest less Japanese officials now. Let's
Life has been very bad."
That incident caused an uproar, and there were no unanimous opinions within the underground party on how to handle it.
Definitely not a single brigade commander in the 22nd Division was captured. The impact of that incident was too small and could not even affect the future of the division commander. I am sure that once Xu Dalong can return on his own, the result will be very ideal.
Although the Japanese sentry understood what I said, when he saw the envelope in my hand, he knew it was for delivering a letter. I took the next step and snatched the envelope from the beggar's hand, telling the beggar to get out of his way.
A smile appeared on the beggar's dirty face. His equally dirty man held an envelope and waved it towards the Japanese sentry while saying something else.
A long time ago, the adjutant of the 22nd Division Commander redeemed Xu Dalong with money at the place agreed with Gao Zhiyong.
The commander of the 22nd Division designated his adjutant to be responsible for that matter. Following the division commander's intention, the adjutant sent a telegram to Gao Zhiyong asking for details about Xu Dalongyi.
The contents of the clear telegram sent by Gao Zhiyong were transmitted to the island country through various channels. It must have been just after the war that the people in the island country were very cold. They would rather have their family members killed or commit suicide before being captured, and they also hope that we will
Being released back brought shame to the family. However, with the long-term recession of the war, the island country fell into an economic crisis. Millions of Japanese soldiers and soldiers were killed or disabled, which caused deep harm to the people of the island country.
.Few people are still reflecting. We now hope that our family members can come back safely. Therefore, the families of those captured have asked for the exchange of prisoners of war so that their relatives can survive.
As for how to deal with that matter, Asada even sent a special telegram to Xia Shaoyi, asking me to withdraw the camera and deal with it. No matter what method Gao Zhiyong finally adopted, Asada would also support Xia Shaoyi.
There is no opinion yet. Since the Japanese and puppets released the prisoners of war of your army, you should also release the prisoners of war of those Japanese soldiers.
That matter must have been handled badly, and it would definitely dampen the enthusiasm of the guerrillas in resisting the war, thus slightly affecting the morale of the troops.
After a full discussion, the Kwantung Army decided to make two preparations. First, it must concentrate heavy troops to attack the base area just established by the guerrillas, and try to drive us out of Guanli. If we can do it, we will do the second best and station troops in
The northeast direction of Songshan and Yuanping Public Security Districts prevents us from continuing to develop towards Guanli.
Besides, as long as Xu Dalongyi can return safely, even if Gao Zhiyong is playing tricks, as long as Xia Shaoyi denies that he has been captured. Anyway, this kind of thing is not a matter of public opinion and mother-in-law's unreasonableness, then there will be no big problem.
