Chapter 1230 The head of the Japanese lieutenant general is very round
The unexpected addition of more than 4,000 troops made the red general smile happily.
Not only was the speed of transporting supplies at least doubled, but more importantly, he also had the idea of taking these prisoners of war.
However, there was Liu Tuanzuo who was showing off, and also offered the bait of being admitted to the independent regiment on a merit-based basis, hoping that this group of veterans who had almost no chance of returning to the old army and looking for strong men to rely on would change their minds in a short time.
Even red political workers who are good at political and ideological work are extremely scratching their heads.
When they later found out the real reason, Liu Lang had already selected people from the prisoners of war to lead the independent regiment away from Niangzi Prison. Even if the two red brigade commanders were so angry that they jumped up and scolded Liu Lang for being unreasonable, they could never find him again.
People.
In addition to leaving the necessary security forces, all officers and soldiers who came to Shimen participated in the transportation of materials.
Niu Er and Lu Shandong, who had finished forming the group and pretending to be in the group, had a new combat mission. They led their respective teams and drove the three-wheeled motorcycles captured from the Japanese army to the Hutuo River railway bridge more than 20 miles away.
There is the most important transportation hub on the Ping-Han Line from Baoding to Shimen. Liu Lang has long been eyeing this railway bridge. As long as it is blown up, the Japanese army will not be able to use the railway to Shimen or even Niangziguan for at least two months.
Transport supplies. If you want to organize such a large Western Front Corps to fight against Shanxi Province, you will have to wait until at least January next year.
The railway bridge was guarded by a small team of only fifty people from the 20th Division Engineer Regiment. Comrade Lin Xiaoshun cooperated and made a phone call to tell them that there would be new troops guarding the bridge.
The combat mission is very simple, but the difficult part is that the entire railway bridge must be blown up within the specified time. The 500 kilograms of explosives seized from the Japanese army's baggage warehouse are enough. But the job of blasting is not just about how much explosives there are.
, and you need to have skills. Moreover, you can't blow it up too early. If you blow it up too early, it will be a bad thing if the Japanese troops in Baoding know about it.
Therefore, the two teams of special forces had to wait at the railway bridge until the area was almost cleared before they could detonate. This task was difficult because no one knew whether the Japanese army would have material transportation and troop mobilization.
It may be necessary to deal with extremely complex and sudden situations, and such arduous tasks can only be completed by the special forces of the special detachment.
Liu Lang couldn't take any time off either. The people in Shimen City still needed him to comfort them.
After clearing out the remaining Japanese invaders in the city, Shimen, where the gunfire had completely stopped, returned to silence. The people hiding in the house saw through the cracks in the windows and doors that they were different from the Japanese invaders' khaki but dark blue national army uniforms.
I had the courage to walk out of my house. When I heard that Shimen had been liberated and the entire Japanese army in the city had been annihilated, I was naturally overjoyed.
Many people excitedly baked pancakes and boiled the few eggs they had at home and stuffed them into the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Bayonet Battalion who were on patrol. Although the officers and soldiers were very moved, no one dared to ask for them, even after successive battles from yesterday morning to now.
, they basically never had hot meals, and no one dared to accept the kindness of the people.
They all know that since the Japanese army came from Peiping, prices in North China have soared. These pancakes made by ordinary people may not look like much, but they may be enough for a family to eat for several days.
But the people didn't obey. It was true that there was not much food, but the national army came back and wiped out the Japs. At least they no longer had to worry when going out on the streets. A few ladies simply led the team with dustpans filled with pancakes in their hands.
As soon as Mi Laowu put his hands down, he turned around and ran away.
Mi Laowu could only accept it, then let Xiaoshan catch up, and stuffed a piece of ocean back to show that he had purchased it. When the Independence Regiment took the oath to go to war, a military order was issued, and no one was allowed to take advantage of the people, otherwise military law would be enforced. He had already suffered it
It’s been ten lashes, but I can’t do it again.
However, some things still need to be explained clearly to the people. They only have one day at most in Shimen. When everything comes to a close, they must evacuate Shimen.
When the joyful people heard the news, they couldn't help but remain silent and extremely disappointed. Especially those people who lost their relatives and houses in wanton bombing and shelling when the Japanese army attacked Shimen. They thought they would no longer have to suffer the pain of war, but they
Unexpectedly, it was all in vain in the end, and many people burst into tears.
But more people are worried that when the Japanese come back here, they will retaliate against them because their headquarters was killed by the Chinese army.
It can be said that when we learned that the national army was about to withdraw, the clouds that were a bit gloomier than the sky have been shrouding the small Shimen.
He should have been celebrating his victory, but instead he was extremely disappointed and depressed. This scene made Liu Lang, who led the Bayonet Battalion Company back from the prisoner of war camp, couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.
He really wanted to say to these common people: Come with me, everyone! However, he also knew that this was too idealistic.
Shimen is not Chengde. In Chengde, he can take the entire city and leave and turn Chengde into an empty city, but Shimen cannot.
Because he doesn't have enough time. It's 60 kilometers from here to Jingxing. Not to mention that many people with their families don't want to leave their hometowns. Even if they want to leave, it will take at least a day and a night. And the Japanese bombers are always there.
Maybe he flew into the sky. At that time, instead of leading the people of a city out of trouble, he pushed them into hell with his own hands.
After a long silence, Liu Lang finally made a decision. He was going to make a big speech in the whole city to keep the people of the city safe.
Fortunately, what reassured Yu Xiancheng, who had just heard Liu Lang's idea, was that his chief, who often surprised people with his actions, did not have a headache this time, and did not say that he would gather people to give a speech.
.That would not only be a security problem, but also if there were some Japanese spies hidden in the crowd, who quietly hid in the crowd and shot at a certain group seat, it would be too late to regret it.
Moreover, this is not a time of peace. It is still a war. It is too risky to hold such a rally. As long as a Japanese plane drops a few bombs, I am afraid that not many people will be killed. People will be stampeded to death.
It will become a tragedy known throughout the country. At that time, a great victory may turn into a tragic defeat.
Even the complete annihilation of the 20th Division would still not be able to undo the negative impact of tens of thousands of people who died tragically due to the commander's stupidity.
Liu Lang used a radio speech. He used a microphone to transmit it to a loudspeaker through a telephone line. This thing that will be equipped in the vast rural areas in the future does not have a high technological content. After Liu Lang explained the principle, Lin Xiaoshun
It took the Japanese troops in the communications brigade and weapons maintenance depot more than an hour to fiddle with this thing.
Although Shimen City was an important military town, it was incomparable to Shijiazhuang, the later capital of Hebei Province. After nearly two hours of hard work by hundreds of Japanese military signal corps, they were able to basically ensure that loudspeakers were spread all over the most important streets of Shimen.
"Dear compatriots in Shimen, I, surnamed Chen, am the Major General Commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, and one of the top commanders of this Shimen Battle. I know your excitement and excitement when you see the dark blue uniforms of our army.
I am excited, but I also know your disappointment when you heard that we will be evacuating soon, and your fear for the future.
As a soldier, my soldiers and I cannot stand in front of you all the time to block the aggressive Japanese invaders. I blame myself very much. But please believe that one day, we will come back. No matter it is me 386
Brigade or other national armies, there will always be a Chinese army standing on this plain in central Hebei and saying to the Japanese aggressors: "No!"
You don’t have to worry too much about the retaliation of the Japanese army when they come back. This time our army captured thousands of Japanese soldiers in Shimen. After we withdraw, we will also notify the Japanese side. If the Japanese army kills our soldiers and civilians in revenge, then the towering Taihang Mountains will
The heads of the Japanese invaders are hung all over the place. Moreover, our 386th Brigade will vigorously promote football in our spare time. According to my opinion, the head of Japanese Lieutenant General Bunzaburo Kawagishi is relatively round...
Now, our army's material transportation at the train station is at a critical moment. If you are interested in helping with the transportation, each person will be rewarded with twenty kilograms of rice and twenty kilograms of flour afterwards. Don't worry, I won't keep my word. The Japanese Army's Baggage Warehouse
There are a lot of these things here, just carry them with you when you go home.
Also, there is a recruitment office at the train station. If there are any aspiring young people who want to join the army and work as little devils, please go and sign up with your household registration certificate and a certificate signed by the heads of three households as a guarantee."
Liu Lang's words were not as high-spirited as "defending the home and country, shrouding corpses in horse leather", and even sounded like nonsense to many people, but his plain language was very good at soothing the hearts of the people in Shimen City.
At least two thousand young men and women rushed to the train station to help carry supplies, and the recruitment office set up outside the train station by the red generals at short notice was even more crowded, with at least a thousand people asking to join the army.
This made the red generals and a group of military chiefs and political officials extremely happy. What is the red army's biggest shortage now? Just supplies? And people.
After the capture of Shimen, 70% of the supplies of the Japanese 20th Division, 108th Division, and 109th Division were all here. The massive amount of supplies, not to mention the 343rd Brigade and even the 129th Division, could not be used up. It was enough for the entire 18th Group Army.
One year's supply of military supplies.
But soldiers are in urgent need. As long as more than 4,000 prisoners of war do a good job in ideological work, they can be brought to the battlefield with almost no need to invest in training. These more than a thousand good guys, as long as they train for half a year, are half an infantry regiment. You say the red troops are here
How can you not be excited?
This unexpected harvest is not much smaller than the victory at Shimen.
However, what should Liu Tuanzuo say in his speech that spoke the truth? For the Japanese prisoners of war, it was frightening.
What does it mean that the towering Taihang Mountains are covered with heads? Dare you, this is what you call the official treatment of prisoners! Hanging your heads on the mountain to enjoy the cool breeze?
Xiyuanji Gongyi, no, it should be Lin Xiaoshun, was angrily looking for the theory of Langtanza who knew he was wrong. How smart is Langtanza? He had already disappeared without a trace under the pretext of patrolling the city. It was Yu Xiancheng who came forward to
The Chief of Staff of the Independent Regiment guaranteed that as long as the Japanese military authorities did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, the safety of prisoners of war would be absolutely guaranteed.
As for if they killed indiscriminately, then...whether it was Lin Xiaoshun or Yu Xiancheng, both parties had a tacit understanding to bypass this if.
Young Master Xiyuan Temple is very wise. In Liu Lang's mind, he is not at the stage where he can win the title of Longwang Shu.
