Let’s not talk about the main force of the New Regiment first, let’s talk about the Wujiashan Fortress later.
After Huang Shouxin's second battalion arrived, Xu Rui immediately led the Langya Brigade and Xue Laoyao's Sixth Company to attack the labor concentration camp near Wujiashan Fortress, annihilating a small group of Japanese infantry guarding the laborers, and imprisoned them in the
More than 500 workers in the concentration camp were rescued.
Most of these workers were Chinese migrant workers defrauded by the Kwantung Army from Shandong, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places in the name of various companies. For nearly ten years, the Japanese deceived hundreds of thousands of workers from Shandong and other places in total, but in
In the original time and space, no worker returned home alive in the end! All the workers who worked in the fortress were brutally executed!
The types of crimes against humanity committed by the Japanese during the entire Anti-Japanese War are simply too numerous to describe!
If it weren't for Xu Rui, if in the original historical time and space, the final outcome of the more than 500 workers here would have been to be executed at the last moment!
But now, the fate of these more than 500 workers has completely changed.
What surprised Xu Rui was that among the more than 500 workers, there were actually more than 100 Soviet prisoners of war.
What surprised Xu Rui even more was that among the more than 100 Soviet prisoners of war, there was actually an acquaintance of his. This acquaintance was the first Soviet ambassador to China and later the political commissar of the Soviet Far East Front, Cherev!
More than two years ago, Cherev and Stilwell visited the Dameishan base area in central Anhui.
But at this time, Cherev was so skinny that Xu Rui almost didn't recognize him.
"Ambassador Cherev? Oh, no, it should be political commissar Cherev? It doesn't seem right. Should I call him former political commissar? How did you end up like this?" Because of the Soviet government's betrayal, he hates Ukraine and Ukraine, and so on.
The tone of Xu Rui's conversation with Cherev was not as friendly as before. The tone was full of sarcasm and unabashed ridicule.
Cherev did not feel the abnormality in Xu Rui's tone, and was still immersed in the huge surprise.
The moment he saw Xu Rui, Cherev couldn't believe his eyes. Oh, my God, it turned out to be Xu Rui? Xu Rui's troops actually fought in the northeast? Not only attacked, but also occupied the Wujiashan Fortress?
Oh, my God, such a strong fortress was actually occupied by Xu Rui. This guy is still as good at creating miracles as he was two years ago!
The huge surprise instantly filled Cherev's chest, prompting him to step forward desperately and tremblingly, gave Xu Rui a bear hug, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Oh Xu Rui, I
My dear friend, I didn’t expect to see you here, it’s really great, great!”
No matter what, it was Stalin who betrayed China. This had nothing to do with Zhukov, let alone Cherev who became a prisoner two years ago! What's more, when he was still in the Dameishan base area, Cherev was a helper
The Dameishan Independent Group was very busy, otherwise, the Dameishan Chemical Plant would not have been built.
"Davalish, my friend." Xu Rui also patted Cherev on the shoulder and said harmoniously, "I didn't expect that I could see you here. You are still alive, no matter for the Soviet Union or for us.
This is good news for the Chinese people, and I feel really lucky that you and these Soviet comrades are still alive in the world."
"Yes, yes." Cherev said while wiping away tears, "But many comrades have died. When we were captured by the Japanese army, there were hundreds of thousands of us. Even if we were later assigned to build Wujiashan
There were more than 10,000 prisoners of war in the fortress, but now there are only more than a hundred of them left."
Xu Rui patted Cherev on the shoulder, then turned to tell Young Xue: "Youngest, take people back to the fortress immediately, take a bath first, and then let those Japanese doctors do a physical examination on them. If they are sick, treat them immediately, and then let the fortress cook
If you want to make delicious food, make pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew for them, and keep an eye on them!"
While he was talking, Leng Tiefeng suddenly walked over in a hurry.
"Old Xu!" Leng Tiefeng hurriedly walked up to Xu Rui and whispered, "The main force of the regiment is in trouble!"
Xu Rui signaled Leng Tiefeng to come to the side, and then asked: "Veteran, don't worry, what's going on with the main force of the regiment?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "While the Japs were unprepared, the main force of the regiment easily defeated the Japs in Liangjiang Town. However, when the main force of the regiment was preparing to cross the river, the bombers of the Japs Air Force came upon the wind and aimed at the Japanese on the river.
The ferries and the docks on both sides were bombarded indiscriminately, which not only caused losses to the main force of the regiment, but also brought the work of crossing the river to a standstill."
Xu Rui said: "As long as there is a ferry, can we still cross the river? No matter how many bombers the Japanese Air Corps has, can they block the entire river for dozens of miles downstream of Liangjiang Town? Isn't it obviously impossible?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "The main force of the regiment originally planned to connect the ferries together to form a pontoon bridge, and then cross the river from the pontoon bridge. This would make crossing the river very efficient. Before the Japanese bombers arrived, the pontoon bridge was almost erected.
But as soon as the bombers came, most of the pontoon bridge that had been erected was immediately blown to pieces, so the entire river crossing work came to a standstill."
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng continued: "Now the main force of the regiment can only disperse across the river, but in this way, the efficiency of crossing the river has been greatly reduced. With so many seriously injured people, it is absolutely impossible to cross them all before dark, but
The Japanese pursuers will definitely catch up before dark, and they will be passive by then, so they can only abandon all the baggage horses."
"Just throw it away." Xu Rui said nonchalantly, "As long as the troops are still there and the carriage horses are gone, we can just grab them from the Japs. With so many little Japs guarding the three eastern provinces, are we afraid that we won't be able to get supplies?
"
Leng Tiefeng said again: "You don't need the horses to carry the baggage, but you must take the wounded with you!" After a pause, he added, "When we evacuated Fengtian, there were more than 3,000 wounded, and now, the number of wounded has increased even more.
There are more than 4,000, including more than 500 seriously wounded. With the drag of these more than 4,000 lightly and seriously wounded, the marching speed of the main force of the regiment will definitely be greatly affected. If they continue to march from the main road, they will definitely be intercepted and pursued by the Japanese.
so……"
Xu Rui immediately understood what Leng Tiefeng wanted to say, and said solemnly: "Veteran, are you saying that the nerd has given the order to break up the entire regiment into pieces and go into the old forest separately?"
On the premise that there is no burden of baggage, breaking it into parts and moving in separately can be said to be the most effective way to break the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese heavy army group. However, the more than 4,000 wounded will still become a drag on the new group, and the vicious forces in the deep mountains and old forests will
The living conditions will also pose a serious threat to the survival of these more than 4,000 wounded people!
However, the greatest threat to these wounded is the harsh natural conditions!
It is the Inoue Brigade that really poses a fatal threat to these wounded and even small units that are scattered!
"Yes! The nerd has already given the order." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "Chiyoko Inoue, a little bitch, will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. She will definitely chase our people into the deep mountains and forests to kill us.
Therefore, our Langya Brigade must rush over to support as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Otherwise, Leng Tiefeng did not continue.
But Xu Rui knew exactly what he wanted to say. In the deep mountains and forests, without support, a special force of more than 100 people could kill tens of thousands of regular troops without any help at all.
A long time! Back at the Qixing Lake, Xu Rui killed thousands of Japanese in just one night!
At that moment Xu Rui stretched out his hand and said: "Map!"
Zhuoligetu immediately took out the map from the satchel he carried with him and spread it out on the ground.
Xu Rui squatted down to look at the map, Leng Tiefeng also squatted down, pointed at the map and said: "Inoue Brigade should be closer to the main force of the regiment, but considering that the main force of the regiment will march at full speed after crossing the river, our Langya Brigade is still
There is a chance to arrive before the Inoue Brigade catches up with the main force of the regiment and intercept the Inoue Brigade!"
Xu Rui nodded and said: "Without further delay, you must assemble the troops immediately!"
Leng Tiefeng responded with a yes, turned around and left. Xu Rui called Young Man Xue over again and said, "Young man, go back and tell Shouxin that I have entrusted Wujiashan Fortress to him, and he must be more vigilant."
!If the fortress is lost, our new regiment will really have no place to stay."
Xue Laoyao responded: "Yes!"
…
Near Liangjiang Town.
At nearly noon, the main force of the New Regiment finally crossed the Songhua River smoothly. Although Japanese bombers continued to bomb and swoop and straf during the crossing, the New Regiment crossed the river dispersedly and had little vision and speed.
It was fast, so the Japanese bombers' bombing and dive strafing did not have much effect.
After crossing the river, He Shuya called together officers above the company level for a meeting.
By this time, Wang Husheng had fallen, and He Shuya had completely taken over.
Facing more than a dozen battalion commanders and company commanders, He Shuya said solemnly: "It is completely foreseeable that on our way to Hunchun, the Japs will be crazy to obstruct us. In addition to pursuing troops, there will also be interceptions in front, so
, If you continue to march along the main road, you will eventually be surrounded by a heavy Japanese army group!"
After a pause, he continued: "The only way now is to break it into parts and move them separately!"
A murmur immediately broke out among the dozen battalion and company commanders present at the meeting. The news was sudden.
He Shuya added: "Except for the two cavalry battalions, which were transferred on a battalion-level organizational basis, the rest of the troops were all transferred separately on a company-based organizational structure. The personnel of each section of the regiment and all the wounded were also divided into nine parts. Each main company
Each company will escort some of the non-combatants and the wounded, and each company must protect the non-combatants and the wounded!"
