"Uncle Wu, have you heard? The Japanese have let go and will kill all Chinese who have heard of rice." A young man in his twenties said mysteriously.
After hearing this, Lao Wu was startled and kept saying, "Isn't it okay if I throw away the rice?"
"It's too late. The Japanese will not let go of anyone who has eaten rice."
"Captain Xu and the others will leave sooner or later. How can we leave us to the Japanese?" Old Wu said.
"I have decided to follow Captain Xu. What the Japanese fear most is Captain Xu. If we follow him, we don't have to worry about anything."
"San Mangzi, I will clean up now and follow Captain Xu."
"Uncle Wu, you are over fifty and you still want to join the army?" San Mouzi said.
"I haven't lived enough yet. I can find a way to survive by following Captain Xu..."
"The Japanese want to kill all the Chinese who eat their rice..."
The news continued to spread, and people in Jiamusi became panicked. The Japanese had ruled the Northeast for ten years and used cruel methods to suppress the Chinese. Therefore, everyone believed that the news was not groundless, and they were afraid that the Japanese would really take action.
When there is oppression, there is resistance. When the Chinese people are exploited to the extreme, resistance becomes inevitable. In addition, some Chinese people fan the flames and add fuel to the flames. More and more people realize that the Japanese do not treat the Chinese at all.
Being a human being, being an obedient citizen, and wanting to live like a dog is a luxury. Only by following Xu Rui can you have a way to survive.
In the next two days, the number of people coming to join the army exploded like a spurt, and after hearing the news that Xu Rui had occupied Jiamusi and was recruiting troops vigorously, surrounding cities and counties continued to have young and middle-aged people coming to Jiamusi to join the army.
As long as he joins the army, Xu Rui will give him a settlement allowance and two hundred kilograms of grain. This kind of treatment also makes some ordinary people who can't survive rush to join him.
In a small two-story building in Jiamusi, the original seat of the Puppet Sanjiang Provincial Government, Xu Rui sat leisurely on a chair behind his desk, taking a sip of tea from time to time.
Digua walked in and said, "Captain, I'm so happy!"
Xu Rui said: "What are you so happy about?"
Digua said with a smile: "Captain, there are too many people who have joined the army in the past two days, almost 20,000. Even old men in their fifties have come to join the army. Fortunately, Zhaoyuan and the others are here to help, otherwise they would all be busy."
But don’t come.”
Xu Rui said: "Select those who are strong and strong from those who are over thirty-five years old and under sixteen years old. In addition, we will not accept those who suffer from night blindness and duck feet. Those who are taller than
Those who are 1.6 meters tall will not be accepted.”
"yes!"
Digua said: "Commander, we have captured Jiamusi, shouldn't we have some fun and have a dinner or something?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "We can't relax yet. We must seize the time to train the troops. The Japanese counterattack is about to begin..."
"Nani? Jiamusi fell?" Inside the temporary headquarters of the Far Eastern Front in Primorsky Krai, Yamashita Fengwen's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
"Where did Watanabe Sukeguchi go?" Yamashita Fengwen asked.
"Watanabe Jieguchi's troops encountered the enemy's cavalry. In order to avoid the entire army being annihilated, they broke out and turned towards Harbin." An officer said.
"Baga! That bastard, Watanabe Sukeguchi! He broke out in separate groups. This is simply a shame for the imperial army!" Yamashita Fengfumi cursed angrily.
Haruyuki Inoue on the side said: "Marshal, Jiamusi is an important area in the rear of our army. Half of the materials hoarded in preparation for this battle are in Jiamusi. The most important thing is that once Jiamusi is lost, our army's back route will be cut off. If Jiamusi cannot be recaptured early,
, my half-million-strong army will be in a state of running out of ammunition and food."
Yamashita Fengfumi quickly regained his composure and said: "Who is commanding this unit that goes deep into our army?"
"According to reports from Shinji Okazaki who escaped from Tongjiang, this army is extremely capable and its leader is Xu Rui."
"Xu Rui? It's him again!" Yamashita Fengwen slammed his fist on the table and continued: "I should have thought it was Xu Rui, and only Xu Rui has this ability."
Inoue Haruyuki said: "Marshal, if it is really Xu Rui's command, it will be very troublesome. We must immediately send elite troops to counterattack Jiamusi and drive Xu Rui away. Only in this way can we ensure the smooth flow of our army's supply lines."
Yamashita Fengwen said: "Okay, immediately ask the 32nd Division Yagyu Hitoshi to lead his troops to attack Jiamusi. We must drive Xu Rui out of Jiamusi and restore the logistics supply money from Jiamusi to the Primorsky Krai."
Inoue Haruyuki said: "Marshal Your Excellency, the 32nd Division is the main division of our army and the general reserve of the front army. Do you really want to send them to Manchuria?"
To deal with Xu Rui, we must be very alert and not be careless in sending the 32nd Division." Yamashita Fengwen said.
Haruyuki Inoue said: "Hitoshi Yagyu is definitely not Xu Rui's opponent. I request to personally lead the troops to counterattack Jiamusi."
Yamashita Fengwen nodded and said: "No, this is the critical moment of the battle. You can't leave. Yagyu Hitoshi is a veteran. The 32nd Division has 20,000 troops and is well equipped. Not to mention that Jiamusi is surrounded by our troops. You can
If you cooperate with Hitoshi Yagyu in fighting, let Hitoshi Yagyu go."
"Okay." Inoue Haruzhi saw that Yamashita Fengwen would not let him go, so he could only sigh and secretly thought to himself, I hope Yagyu Hitoshi will drive Xu Rui away...
Hitoshi Yagyu graduated from the Japanese Army Military Academy and served in the army for more than 20 years. However, Hitoshi Yagyu rarely had the opportunity to go to the front line in person. Most of the time he did staff work. He worked at the General Staff Headquarters for ten years before he had the opportunity.
Enter the frontline troops for experience.
In recent years, Hitoshi Yagyu has been promoted to the division commander of the 32nd Division due to his meritorious service. Although the 32nd Division is a second-class division, under the training of Hitoshi Yagyu, it has become a model division of the Far East Front with strong combat effectiveness.
Yanagyu Hitoshi was always thinking about establishing meritorious deeds, so after receiving the order from Yamashita Fengwen, he did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately led the entire division of more than 20,000 people to travel through the stars and nights, return to Fuyuan via Boli, Tongjiang, and attack the Jiamusi area
Move forward, the war is about to begin.
Tongjiang, Bascha Island, the gathering area of the Hezhe people. Leng Tiefeng, on the orders of Xu Rui, led Langya to Bascha Island, preparing to deal with the returning Japanese here and gain time for the formation of soldiers and training in the Jiamusi area.
On Bascha Island, the Hezhe people warmly entertained Leng Tiefeng with salmon meat and tasted the fish. Taraha, Zhaoyuan's father and the leader of the Hezhe tribe, Zhaolin, said: "Captain Leng, you and Captain Xu are
We Hezhe people are eternal friends, this time you come to Tongjiang, is there anything you need our help with?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "The Japanese 32nd Division is going to attack Jiamusi, and Lao Xu sent us to stop the Japanese attack."
"How can we help?" Zhaolin asked.
Leng Tiefeng said: "I need thirty pieces of fish skin clothing and some fish specialties."
Zhaolin said: "Captain Leng, what do you want these for?"
Leng Tiefeng: "You'll know tomorrow."
When Zhaolin saw that Leng Tiefeng was unwilling to say anything, he did not force himself and immediately had thirty sets of fishskin clothes brought by hand and handed them over to Leng Tiefeng.
Fish skin clothing is mostly made of dried salmon skin, processed and sewn. It is the traditional clothing of the Hezhe people. Leng Tiefeng immediately selected more than 20 new Hezhe soldiers, including Zhaoyuan, to join the army.
Under the leadership of Di Gua, they put on fish skin clothes and prepared to take the next step...
Yanage Hitoshi returned to the army very quickly. In just a few days, his troops passed through Khabarovsk and reached Fuyuan. They only stayed in Fuyuan Town for half a day, and set off again towards Tongjiang. The vanguard arrived at
Near Bacha, people were already exhausted and they were ready to bury pots and make rice.
At this moment, dozens of Hezhe people wearing fish skin clothing appeared in the distance. These Hezhe people were drinking and eating meat by the river. Behind them, several large pots were emitting white steam, and there was a smell of fish meat.
The baby came to my nose.
The leader of the Japanese Army laughed when he saw this scene, and immediately sent a small team to rush over. The dozens of Hezhe people dispersed in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of wine and fish.
Ever since Jiamusi was captured by Xu Rui, the Japanese have had logistical problems. These Japanese have not eaten meat for a while. Smelling the aroma of meat and wine, the colonel was very happy and picked up his chopsticks to pick up the meat.
An officer behind him said: "Colonel, what should I do if it's poisonous?"
The colonel said: "Didn't you just see those Hezhe people drinking wine and eating meat? If it was poisonous, they would have been poisoned to death long ago."
At that moment, the colonel took a bite of the fish and felt it was extremely delicious. The colonel immediately asked people to distribute the extra fish and wine. Thousands of Japanese soldiers drank and ate meat, dancing happily. Several Japanese soldiers took off their clothes and only wore the clothes on their backs.
A piece of crotch cloth danced a Japanese dance.
The soldiers sat around watching the dance and laughed happily. At this time, the dancing Japanese soldiers even threw aside the last crotch cloth, revealing their naked bodies.
Ono Kenzaburo, the staff officer on the side, is a Buddhist. He never eats wine or meat, and only eats some dry food at night. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. These soldiers usually dance very well. It is impossible to take off all the crotch cloth, and then look around.
The soldiers were dancing and stumbling one by one, as if they had entered a state of madness, especially the few naked soldiers who were dancing, their whole bodies red.
Ono Kenzaburo had learned some medical skills and suddenly woke up. This seemed to be a symptom of poisoning.
There must be poison in the wine and meat of the Hezhe people!
Kenzaburo Ono immediately went to find Colonel Kuroda, but he found that Colonel Kuroda had fallen to the ground, his face was black, foaming at the mouth, and his body was twitching continuously.
Almost at the same time, Kenzaburo Ono saw the crazy soldiers falling to the ground one by one, their bodies twitching continuously.
At this moment, Ono Kenzaburo was absolutely sure that there must be something wrong with the Hezhe people's wine and meat. These Hezhe people actually poisoned their wine and meat!
