(Well, three more chapters have been deleted, so you can just make do with it. Some things are indeed too sensitive. I originally wanted to continue writing about the situation of the Northeast Army, but it seems that I can’t mention it anymore. This chapter is considered to be about the resistance against Japan behind enemy lines in Northeast China.
Let's finish, there is a beginning and an end.
By the way, Lao Wang has been in the hospital for three days, and I would like to remind everyone to keep warm, as it is easy to catch a cold during the transition between summer and autumn.
I'm not in a good mood or physically today, so there won't be a second update. Let's wait and see tomorrow.)
The turn of winter and spring in 1932 and 1933 was an extremely long time for the people of the three occupied northeastern provinces.
Since the "September 18th", countless civil anti-Japanese organizations have emerged in the Northeast, with various names, such as the National Salvation Army, the Self-Defense Army, the Volunteer Army, the Red Spear Society, the Broadsword Society, etc. After layers of encirclement and suppression by the Kwantung Army, Ma Zhanshan, Li Du
, Wang Delin, Tang Juwu and others have hardly dispersed the large volunteer army, but there are more and more small civil anti-Japanese groups.
In Liaoning Province alone, there are about 100,000 volunteers. Among them, Deng Tiemei's troops are the largest, with more than 10,000 people, and most of the other groups have between 500 and 3,000 people.
These small groups of anti-Japanese troops took action upon hearing the news and specifically attacked the lone Kwantung Army and puppet troops. Although they might only be able to wipe out a few or a dozen enemies in one battle, they made the Kwantung Army miserable, as if there were mosquitoes around them.
Flying around.
Just when the Kwantung Army attacked Rehe, in order to stabilize the rear, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nobuyoshi Muto, personally deployed the first "big crusade" to encircle and suppress the Liaoning Triangle. At the same time, he ordered the puppet troops to conduct "propaganda" in the crusade area.
"Care" work.
The so-called "propaganda" actually means confiscating civilian weapons, distributing "goodwill" leaflets to the people in the Northeast, and suppressing and arresting potential "undesirable elements."
Although the puppet army was incapable of fighting, they worked particularly hard in the "propaganda" work. Hundreds of people often entered the village and looted it. If they encountered any resistance from the villagers, they would kill them in the name of "undesirable elements." Everywhere they went, they were like locusts passing through the border.
Therefore, at the turn of winter and spring, the people in the occupied areas of Northeast China were living a very bad life. Their biggest enemy was not the Kwantung Army, but the puppet army who helped the tyrants to commit crimes. Many honest farmers joined the volunteer army groups after losing their relatives.
When Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province, was occupied by the Japanese army and Zhang Xueliang announced his resignation, Hou Zhongguo (Hou Qi) was stepping on the unmelted ice and snow, leading his troops to kill Miyun overnight.
Hou Zhongguo's anti-Japanese guerrilla campaign last year was very impressive. He had hundreds of teachers and students who were proficient in the "seven-man back" manufacturing technology. As a result, his attack firepower was very fierce, and he often relied on ambushes to defeat the Kwantung Army and puppet troops.
At its most glorious time, Hou Zhongguo's power expanded to more than 20,000 people, and he became a key target of the Kwantung Army.
Just as Zhou Hexuan worried, there was a traitor in Hou Zhongguo's team. A policeman who called himself Deng Tuohai brought more than 3,000 people to seek refuge. Due to his heroic performance, he gained Hou Zhongguo's trust and soon became a member of the group.
second place.
Then there was internal fighting. Deng Tuohai revealed Hou Zhongguo's hiding place to the Kwantung Army and blocked Hou Zhongguo's retreat route during the battle.
Under the protection of his close associates, Hou Zhongguo broke out of the encirclement in a bloody battle and only brought more than 1,000 people to the rescue. The original anti-Japanese group of more than 20,000 people fell apart and split into three small groups that moved in multiple directions.
In addition to Hou Zhongguo's more than 1,000 troops, Zhang Chunhe, a teacher from Feng Yong University, took 2,000 people to the South Manchurian Line to continue the resistance against Japan, echoing the Deng Tiemei troops entrenched there. There was also a policeman named Chen Yu.
, led more than 1,000 people into the old forests of central Liaozhong.
"Brother Seven, let's light a fire. Brothers can't bear it any longer," Zhou Yuliang came over and said, "This forest is inaccessible and it's not easy for the Japanese to find it."
Hou Zhongguo glanced at the brothers beside him. They were all shivering from the cold. He gritted his teeth and said: "Hold each other together to keep warm. Hold on, and those who are frostbitten will stay with fellow villagers nearby. We must not light a fire. The Japanese's recent 'crusade' has been very fierce."
"
"Alas!" Zhou Yuliang sighed silently, hoping that no one would freeze to death tonight. He used to be the section chief of the Panshan County Bureau of Statistics and went to college. He joined Hou Zhongguo's team last summer and is now equivalent to the group's logistics manager.
Hou Zhongguo asked: "How long can I last with enough food?"
Zhou Yuliang said: "If you save some food, you can probably survive for two days."
Hou Zhongguo muttered in a low voice: "We have to make a deal." He suddenly ordered, "Everyone get up and hurry up. Keep heading northwest. It should be much easier to approach Miyun!"
Zhou Yuliang hesitated to speak. He thought it would be better to stay in Liaoning and fight guerrillas, but Hou Zhongguo wanted to go to support the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.
However, as Hou Zhongguo said, it will be much easier to get to Miyun, because the focus of the Kwantung Army's "crusade" this time is Anfeng and the southern Manchuria front.
The Northeastern People's Self-Defense Force founded by Deng Tiemei has more than 10,000 people. It is active between the Anfeng and South Manchuria railways, stabbing a sharp knife into the heart of the enemy. This anti-Japanese force not only threatens Shenyang, but also often destroys railways.
Transportation caused great logistical troubles to the Kwantung Army attacking Rehe.
Nowadays, the thousands-sized Kwantung Army, together with tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops, are frantically encircling and suppressing Deng Tiemei. But Deng Tiemei is as cunning as an old fox. The large Japanese troops cannot be caught at all, and instead he annihilates a large number of puppet troops piecemeal.
.
Even the genuine Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses when facing Deng Tiemei. At least nearly 500 elite Japanese troops died.
Officially, because Deng Tiemei held back the main force of the Kwantung Army's "crusade", Hou Zhongguo had the opportunity to lead his troops to the northwest and attack the Miyun area. The Anti-Japanese War on the Great Wall was raging over there. Of course, Hou Zhongguo did not dare to confront the Japanese army head-on.
I wanted to go there to harass the Japanese army's logistics and contribute to the brothers who fought against the Great Wall.
During the bloody breakout, Hou Zhongguo only had more than 1,000 men left. However, after several months of development, his strength once again surged to about 5,000, and all of them were "veterans" with rich combat experience. He believed that he could inflict serious damage on the Japanese army.
Very troubled.
Unfortunately, only 18 of the teachers and students of Feng Yong University who followed Hou Zhongguo out to fight the Japanese are still around. As for the others, they have either died or were separated from him, and it is unknown how many are left alive.
After another two days of marching, Hou Zhongguo finally approached Miyun. Fortunately, the weather was getting warmer in the beginning of spring, so the frostbite was not serious. The only bad thing was that he had almost run out of food.
"commander!"
Hou Zhongguo's adjutant brought people over and said happily: "We got news from the fellow villagers that tomorrow the puppet troops will come to the village ahead to collect food."
Hou Zhongguo was shocked and immediately stood up and said: "Come on, come with me to see the terrain!"
The puppet army has always been Hou Zhongguo's favorite target. These guys have poor combat effectiveness, but they are extremely cruel to the people. Especially in the past two months, there have been an endless stream of puppet soldiers robbing farmers under the banner of "Xuanfu".
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, the warm sunshine shines on the ice and snow land.
Zhao Si was sitting on a bumpy mule cart with a thick "China-Japan Friendship Leaflet" under his buttocks. His mission was to preach "peace" to surrounding villages, capture potential "undesirable elements" on the way, and finally collect grain and transport it to
The Japanese army logistics station in the county seat.
"Fourth Master, Guojiagou is ahead." The dog-legged man ran over to show his courtesy.
Zhao Si moved his buttocks, picked up the stack of goodwill leaflets, and said: "The tasks assigned by Taijun must be completed first. Li Er, after entering the village, hand out these leaflets, remember to ask every villager
One for each person.”
"Okay, okay! Don't worry, Fourth Master," the dog-legged man said flatteringly.
Zhao Si opened his mouth and yawned, then stretched his body. As the warm sun shone on him, what he wanted to do most was to have a good sleep.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and Zhao Si jumped out of the mule cart in fright, and a bullet grazed his ear.
Zhao Si was so scared that he peed in an instant. He even kneeled and climbed down from the mule cart, and lay on the ground with his head in his hands to hide. His puppet troops were also in a panic, because anti-Japanese troops were rare here, and they were prone to unexpected events.
I don't know how to handle the situation at all.
After panicking for a while, Zhao Si finally remembered that he was the leader. He pulled out the box cannon from his waist, put his head in and shouted: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, shoot me back!"
"kill!"
I saw thousands of volunteers rushing down the hillside on the left, some armed with guns, and some simply armed with swords and spears, desperately attacking the puppet troops below.
There were only a hundred people on the puppet army's side. They fired a few shots randomly and then retreated in fright.
"Run!" Someone dropped his gun and ran away.
"No retreat, no retreat!"
Zhao Si shouted loudly and wanted to organize his troops to fight back, but he himself retreated quickly.
More than a hundred puppet troops instantly became headless flies. At this moment, there was a loud killing sound from the direction they came, and even the retreat was cut off by the volunteers.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Si immediately threw away his gun and retreated from the enemy, raised his heads in surrender and said: "Grandpa, grandpas, stop fighting!"
When Hou Zhongguo arrived at the battlefield, hundreds of puppet soldiers were already kneeling on the ground. He spat: "Bah, you coward! I haven't even had time to use my grenades."
Zhao Si cried bitterly: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life. I have no choice but to do so. The Japanese are forcing me to sacrifice my life for them, otherwise they will kill my whole family. I beg you to save my life!"
"Are you the traitor leader of this unit?" Hou Zhongguo smiled cruelly. He had a bandit style and shouted, "Listen to all you traitors. Come here if you want to survive and kill all the officials. This
The special mother is calling for a certificate of surrender. If anyone dares not to take action, I will shoot them all!"
Zhao Si instantly collapsed to the ground, and after a brief silence, the puppet soldiers suddenly rushed towards Zhao Si and his thugs crazily.
Hou Zhongguo smiled with satisfaction and said: "Clean the battlefield for me, then go to the village to buy some food, and evacuate immediately!"
Half an hour later, Hou Zhongguo, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, was about to escape when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Is that brother unit in front of you? We are the Second Cavalry Division of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army!"
"Director Huang's troops?"
Hou Zhongguo's face suddenly showed joy, and he quickly called the other party over and said: "I am Hou Qi, and I am an old friend of your Commander Huang. Take me to see him quickly!"
The other party also said happily: "You are the powerful Hou Qiye in Sanshan? How wonderful!"
Huang Xiansheng, formerly the chief of the Liaoning Police Department and the director of the Shenyang Public Security Bureau, was the one who fired the first shot at the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and also killed Zhang Xuecheng (Zhang Xueliang's cousin) who had surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor.
When the Japanese army attacked Jinzhou last year, Huang Xiansheng put great pressure on the Kwantung Army behind enemy lines. The Kwantung Army dispatched the cavalry regiment of the 20th Division to defeat the Volunteer Army in one fell swoop with this "invincible" cavalry regiment.
As a result, Huang Xiansheng laid an ambush in advance and annihilated more than 60 Japanese cavalry in one fell swoop, and also killed a lieutenant commander. The Kwantung Army considered this "actually the most tragic incident since the Manchurian Incident."
In order to retaliate, the Japanese army dispatched infantry, artillery, cavalry, armored troops and flying squadrons to carry out continuous attacks against Huang Xiansheng. Huang Xiansheng organized various volunteer armies in western Liaoning into the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, with a total of more than 60,000 people, and persisted in the resistance war for a year. There were many, and now they are almost being scattered.
The two anti-Japanese forces quickly converged. Hou Zhongguo rushed up and punched Huang Xiansheng, saying with a smile: "Old Huang, I haven't seen you for two years. Your reputation is getting bigger and bigger!"
"You are pretty good at controlling Sanshan Hou Qiye," Huang Xiansheng asked with a smile, "Why didn't you fight in Liaozhong and came here instead?"
"What about you?" Hou Zhongguo asked.
Huang Xian said seriously: "I want to go to Baima Pass to fight against the Japanese."
Hou Zhongguo was surprised: "You are going to the Great Wall to confront the Japanese head-on?"
Huang Xiansheng nodded and said, "Yes, let's go together."
Hou Zhongguo shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm here to fight guerrillas, specifically to destroy the Japanese's logistics routes."
Huang Xiansheng didn't force it. He smiled and said: "Then let's cooperate more in the future. I heard that your bombardier unit is very strong."
"You go to the Great Wall. If you really can't fight, come back," Hou Zhongguo said. "Mr. Zhou said that we should still focus on guerrilla warfare and not confront the Japanese head-on for the time being."
"It's not an option to continue like this. People are also needed on the frontal battlefield." Huang Xiansheng sighed.
The two chatted for a while, had a meal together, and then went their separate ways.
Huang Xiansheng went to the White Horse Pass of the Great Wall to fight, while Hou Zhongguo stayed outside the pass to fight guerrillas. However, neither of them expected that two months later, their troops would merge and eventually become a Communist Party team.
The reason is very simple. When Huang Xiansheng led his troops to fight against the Japanese army, he was actually under the supervision and coercion of the 205th Division of the Kuomintang, and did all kinds of hindering and bad things.
In anger, Huang Xiansheng defected to the Communist Party and established a party branch in the Second Cavalry Division.
Hou Zhongguo's troops were harassing the Japanese army's logistics outside the Great Wall. The Kwantung Army was angry and sent three regiments to kill them. They also cooperated with the cavalry and flying squadrons. More than 5,000 people under Hou Zhongguo were destroyed. After a sexual attack, only a few hundred key members escaped in the end, and were taken in by Huang Xiansheng, who came out to fight against Japan.
Although Hou Zhongguo's team broke up, the other two teams that split away have survived tenaciously. Later, they all joined the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance, and the "seven-man back" technology they mastered also spread rapidly. Feng Yong University survived The anti-Japanese teachers and students became the technical backbone of various anti-Japanese groups behind enemy lines.
The Chinese people have always stood in the war of resistance, even if they were defeated again and again on the frontal battlefield.
