"No!" Yamashita Fengwen shook his head and said, "It's still not safe."
"Nani?" Kobayashi Asaburo was stunned for a moment and said, "Where is the insurance?"
Yamashita Fengwen said: "The reason why the main force of the new regiment can't cross the river is not because they really can't cross the river, but because they are burdened by the baggage and the wounded. Once they find that the situation is wrong, they will most likely throw away all the baggage and the wounded.
If the main force of the new regiment throws away the baggage and the wounded, the imperial army's pursuit and interception will be useless."
"Hai." Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "If the main force of the new regiment really gives up all the baggage and the wounded, and can indeed cross the river through the narrow place in a scattered way, the aviation corps will not be able to completely stop it even if it tries its best.
, if this is the case, the imperial army’s pursuit and interception will indeed be useless, but..."
Speaking of this, Asaburo Kobayashi changed his tone and continued: "Based on my understanding of the New Regiment from my humble position, it is indeed possible to abandon the baggage, but they will never abandon the wounded! Because there is a famous saying in Xu Rui's army
The slogan is, never abandon, never give up, which means never abandon any comrade, never give up any opportunity! Therefore, the main force of the new regiment will never abandon the wounded under any circumstances!"
"The main force of the new regiment will not abandon the wounded, but what if the wounded choose to sacrifice themselves? We have to be on guard!" Yamashita Fengwen shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't know, Mr. Xiaolin, the Chinese are actually very strange, some
The Chinese are just weaklings, very greedy for life and afraid of death, but some Chinese are incredibly stubborn!"
Asaburo Kobayashi frowned and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you mean?"
Yamashita Fengwen said: "Where is the Inoue Brigade now?"
Kobayashi Asaburo paused and said: "On the way to Liuhe."
Yamashita Fengwen snorted and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to come back. Order them to rush to Liangjiang Town immediately. Once the main force of the new regiment abandons all the baggage and the wounded and crosses the river, after crossing the river, they will most likely leave the road and go through the deep mountains and old forests.
When the time comes to transfer, it’s time for the Inoue Brigade to show off their energy. Isn’t the Inoue Brigade very good at jungle warfare?”
Asaburo Kobayashi hesitated: "But if Inoue Brigade is not here, who will ensure the safety of the headquarters?"
"Baga!" Yamashita Fengwen said angrily, "The Langya Brigade has gone to Wujiashan Fortress, what danger will the headquarters face? Order the Inoue Brigade to go to Liangjiang Town immediately! There must be no excuses!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi nodded heavily.
…
Liangjiang Town, West Bank Woods.
He Shuya ventured back to the west bank on a small fishing boat. When crossing the river, the small fishing boat was also swooped and strafed by two Japanese attack planes, but because the target was too small, it did not pose a threat.
When He Shuya came to Wang Husheng, he found that Wang Husheng was already asleep.
Du Junjie said: "Dean Junzi said that there is nothing serious about the political commissar, he is just exhausted."
He Shuya waved to Du Junjie to go aside and talk. When he was more than ten meters away, He Shuya asked: "Ajie, how is the damage?"
Du Junjie said: "The personal losses were not large. A dozen comrades unfortunately died, and more than a hundred comrades were injured, including a dozen seriously injured! However, the material losses were relatively large. The packhorses alone ran away for almost a day.
There are more than a thousand of them, and now the Second Cavalry Battalion is sending troops to search everywhere, but only God knows how many can be recovered."
After a pause, Du Junjie asked again: "How is the situation over there?"
"It's pretty good over there." He Shuya nodded and said, "The Japs on the east bank have been completely defeated by our first battalion. Now the second and third companies are following the river bank and continuing to attack in the north and south directions to win the main force of the regiment.
Before everyone crosses the river, try to tear apart the Japanese blockade as much as possible, so that the main force of the regiment can have more room to move."
Du Junjie sighed: "The key is that we can't cross the river now. You saw it when we were crossing the river just now. The Japanese aviation force is like crazy. They don't care about big or small boats. They just blow up the boats they see!" After a pause.
, and then said, "I estimate that it will be impossible to cross the river before dark. Now we can only wait until dark."
"Absolutely not, we absolutely cannot wait until dark!" He Shuya's face changed slightly, and he said, "We didn't get too far away from the Japanese pursuers. Although the fifth battalion's feint before deceived the Japanese pursuers, it still failed.
It just caused the Japanese pursuers to travel hundreds of miles in vain, but the actual distance was not much longer."
After a pause, He Shuya continued: "Now that the battle between Wujiashan Fortress and Liangjiang Town has begun, the old devil Yamashita Fengwen must have reacted, and he will definitely make the pursuing group go crazy and quickly pursue in the direction of Liangjiang Town.
If we really wait here until dark, the Japanese pursuers will have arrived! By then, with the Songhua River blocking the road in front of us and a heavy Japanese army group behind us, there will really be no way out."
Du Junjie groaned and said anxiously: "What should we do?"
He Shuya gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Use small boats to disperse across the river!"
"Ah, use small boats to disperse across the river?" Du Junjie said, "This is too inefficient. Even if it gets dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to cross. Isn't this still the same?"
He Shuya shook his head and said solemnly: "If you just surpass others, you can still make it in time!"
"Just to excel?" Du Junjie said, "Shu Ya, you mean to say that all the baggage brought from Fengtian, even the more than 8,000 pack horses, are gone?"
The new regiment originally had more than 20,000 pack horses, but after more than half a year of fighting, there were only more than 8,000 horses left.
These more than 8,000 pack horses, brought all the way from Baotou, are the New Regiment’s most valuable asset! At the beginning, it was precisely because of the more than 20,000 pack horses that the New Regiment’s mobility was guaranteed, but now
, at this small ferry on the Songhua River, the more than 8,000 pack horses became a burden, greatly increasing the difficulty of crossing the river.
"No more!" He Shuya gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, we can't feed them at Wujiashan."
"You can kill and eat meat even if you can't feed it. This is millions of kilograms of meat! What a pity it would be to throw it away?" Du Junjie was a little reluctant and muttered, "Enough to feed our new group for a year!"
"You have to live for it!" He Shuya said angrily, "Throw it away!"
After a pause, He Shuya continued: "Not only all the pack horses, but also the machines and equipment everywhere, such as the mimeograph machine in the Propaganda Department, the radio station in the Communications Department, the medical equipment in the field hospital, and all the artillery and mortars.
, throw them all away, each person is only allowed to carry small weapons and seven days’ worth of dry food!”
"Yes." Du Junjie's head immediately dropped.
Now, the new group's loss is really the old nose.
Du Junjie left with a slumped head to make arrangements for crossing the river.
He Shuya asked the guards to call the first company commander Yao Lei over. Because the first company had previously taken a cover mission and took a long way to attack a bandit village, it fell behind and did not cross the river with the second company and the third company.
Suddenly, He Shuya captured another young man and planned to let Yilian stay on the west bank of the river to take charge of the rear.
After breaking up, this is an arduous task. As the commander of the first battalion, He Shuya can only give this task to the first company!
However, before Yao Lei arrived, three uninvited guests arrived first. These three uninvited guests were the three bandit leaders Zhen Sanjiang, Piedhu and Xue Lihong.
There has been cooperation with Baishan County, and the two parties have become brothers.
"Brother He, we meet again." Zhen Sanjiang clasped his fists and bowed. "I heard that you guys had a lively fight with the little devils in Liangjiang Town, so we came here to join in the fun again. If you need our help, just ask."
The piebald tiger also said: "Brother, to tell you the truth, before we went to Baishan County, our eldest brother had actually been active in the area of Liangjiang Town. He was not only familiar with this area, but also the big guys here would sell his face. As long as he
With just one sentence, eldest brother, it’s no problem to summon thousands of people! So, you really don’t need to be polite to our eldest brother.”
Although Xue Lihong said nothing, her beautiful eyes were always on He Shuya.
"Everyone in the town, if you are willing to help us stop the Japs, I would be really grateful." He Shuya was naturally not polite at this time, and then said, "There are also the gangsters in this area, if they are really willing to help, our new
There is an extra heavy gift for each group, one hundred horses for each family, five thousand kilograms of grain, and five hundred guns!"
Anyway, these materials were going to be destroyed anyway. If the bandits here are really willing to resist Japan, it would be better to give these materials to the bandits, so that these materials can continue to play an anti-Japanese role. It is better than being destroyed in vain and then thrown into the country.
The Songhua River is moldy and rotten. Of course He Shuya understands such a simple truth.
After a pause, He Shuya continued: "In addition, our new regiment has prepared three generous gifts, respectively for the three heads of the family. Each family has 2,000 horses, 100,000 kilograms of grain, 1,000 Type 38 rifles, and bullets.
Fifty thousand rounds, plus ten Japanese-made 75 mountain guns, field guns and mortars! Haha."
Even if these materials are buried, it is difficult to keep them completely secret in the rush, so they will inevitably fall into the hands of the little devils in the end. Even if some fish escape the net, they will probably be dug up by the nearby bandits.
So either destroy them all, or simply give them to Zhen Sanjiang and the other three bandits.
At least they were truly anti-Japanese in Zhensanjiang.
"This..." Zhen Sanjiang, the spotted tiger's face turned red.
In fact, they made nice words and said they were coming to help. In fact, they were coming to Liangjiang Town to fight against the autumn wind. They wanted to see if they could take advantage of the opportunity of the New Regiment to fight the Japanese to get some much-needed ammunition. Of course, they did have some.
I try to help, but at best it's just playing drums on the side, and it's impossible to really exert any effort.
Zhen Sanjiang and the others did not expect that He Shuya not only saw through their thoughts, but also took the initiative to give them so many benefits, which made them feel burning with shame on their faces!
