The Japanese attacked fiercely all night. Although they destroyed some of the Soviet fortifications, they suffered huge losses, with more than 10,000 casualties. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and food and retreated across the board.
The Soviet army took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and Momota Rita's 49th Division single-handedly blocked the Soviet army. In the end, under the fierce attack of Soviet artillery fire, most of the 49th Division was killed, and the division commander Momota Rita died by caesarean section.
Because of Xu Rui's actions in the rear, the main force of Yamashita Fengwen in Primorye Krai finally retreated to Khabarovsk. At this point, the Japanese's second large-scale attack on Primorye Krai failed.
At this time, Xu Rui had led his troops all the way to Jilin City.
Xu Rui's idea was not to capture Jilin, but just to scare the defenders of Jilin City so that they would not dare to come out. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened suddenly.
A group of puppet troops came out of Jilin City, holding white flags in their hands, saying they wanted to see Xu Rui.
Xu Rui was very puzzled as to what these puppet soldiers wanted to do with him, so he immediately asked someone to bring those puppet soldiers. After a while, several puppet soldiers came to Xu Rui, and Xu Rui said: "What do you want from me?"
?”
The leader of the puppet army was tall and tall, with an upright look on his face, and he said: "Commander Xu, I, Liu Shuwang, have specially handed over Jilin City to your army and welcome the army into the city."
After hearing what Liu Shuwang said, Xu Rui was very puzzled and asked: "Where are the Japanese in Jilin City? Why did you offer the city?"
Liu Shuwang sighed and said: "I have a deep blood feud with the Japanese, so I led my brothers to rebel and occupy this Jilin City."
"Oh?" Xu Rui looked at Liu Shuwang.
So, Liu Shuwang told Xu Rui a story about his past.
After September 18, the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces. In order to survive and protect his family, Liu Shuwang voluntarily surrendered to the Japanese and became a traitor. The Japanese also valued Liu Shuwang and appointed him as the security captain.
Liu Shuwang knew that the security captain was actually a traitor leader and was not a good person, so he usually kept a low profile.
After the Japanese occupied the Northeast, they also wanted to whitewash peace and create the so-called "military and civilian joint construction of the imperial paradise". They often held activities such as social gatherings between China and Japan. One day, Liu Shuwang took his wife
Liu Ruolan went to a Japanese drinking party. The commander of the Japanese military police, Itto Mukai, was a pervert. He took a liking to Liu Ruolan at a glance and never forgot her.
Later, Itto Mukai found an excuse to send Liu Shuwang out on business for a while. Then he seized the opportunity and ran to Liu Shuwang's house and forced Liu Ruolan to have sex with him. Liu Ruolan was also a fierce woman and resisted desperately, so Itto Mukai
He became so ferocious that he killed Liu Ruolan directly. After returning home, Liu Shuwang was heartbroken and extremely angry when he learned the truth. He vowed to avenge this blood feud.
So one night, Liu Shuwang started his revenge plan. He first deceived the guards of Mukai Itou's family into a remote place, and killed these guards with a few good brothers he had made appointments with, and then swaggered to Mukai.
At Itto's house, he took advantage of Mukai Itto's unpreparedness and beat him to death.
Later, Liu Shuwang led the puppet army to rebel without rest, captured the gendarmerie and occupied the entire Jilin City. Xu Rui happened to lead his troops through, so Liu Shuwang opened the city gate and surrendered to Xu Rui.
After listening to Liu Shuwang's words, Xu Rui sighed with emotion. The Japanese have never regarded the Chinese as human beings. Liu Shuwang, for example, was treated as a dog to the Japanese, but the Japanese still destroyed his family and made him a dog to the Japanese.
, it’s not that easy either.
Although Liu Shuwang surrendered to Xu Rui, Xu Rui did not enter Jilin City. First of all, Liu Shuwang only said one-sided words and should not be believed. If it was a trick of the Japanese to lure the enemy, it would be troublesome. Second, Xu Rui's troops were escorting so many people.
I don’t want to stay long and want to return to Wujiashan as soon as possible. Thirdly, the Japanese car convoy is chasing me. If I rest in Jilin for too long, I will be overtaken by the Japanese pursuers.
At that moment, Xu Rui took Liu Shuwang and the rebel puppet troops who were willing to join the new anti-alliance regiment and headed towards Wujiashan.
The journey was smooth. One day later, Xu Rui's troops passed by Dunhua City. There were only a few hundred puppet troops in Dunhua City. They just defended the city and did not dare to attack. Xu Rui's troops passed through Dunhua in a swagger.
Just like this, Xu Rui led his troops forward and finally returned to Wujiashan. In this battle, Xu Rui's troops fought thousands of miles and finally won a complete victory.
However, from the tens of thousands of rebels who joined in Jiamusi, by the time they arrived at Wujiashan, only about 3,000 people were left. Although the number was small, the 3,000 people who had survived after a hundred battles could definitely be called a tiger and wolf army.
.More importantly, when Xu Rui took Langya from the Wujiashan base, there were only more than 100 people, but more than 3,000 people came back. This greatly enriched the strength of the Wujiashan Fortress, and at the same time it also
This boosted the morale of the military and boosted the morale of the entire Wujiashan base area.
On a peak in Wujia Mountain, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng were sitting side by side on the top of the mountain. It was a very cold day at dawn in late autumn, but Xu Rui and Wang Husheng seemed not to notice, sitting there looking into the distance.
"Old Xu, why are you so interested in calling me to watch the sunrise so early in the morning?"
Xu Rui said: "I have been busy fighting for a while, and my nerves have been too tense. I always want to relax. Lao Wang, everything is okay in Wujiashan during this period."
"It's good. With you, a victorious general, fighting in the north and south, who would dare to take advantage of Wujiashan?" Wang Lusheng said with a smile.
"By the way, Lao Xu, I was wondering, what are you going to do with the captured Dasong Hirozheng and Puyi?"
Xu Rui said: "I brought them all the way from Xinjing to Wujiashan, of course not to raise them, but to create greater value for us."
"You guy, I know you don't have any good intentions. It turns out that you have been thinking of beating the Japanese for a long time." Wang Husheng said with a smile.
Xu Rui said: "Of these two people, although Hiromasa Ohmatsu is a senior general of the Japanese army, there are countless such generals in the Japanese army. As for Puyi, he is a very special bargaining chip. In terms of status, he is from Manchukuo."
Logically speaking, the emperor should be a rare commodity, but he was just a puppet created by the Japanese devils. Since the Japanese devils could make Puyi the emperor, of course they could also make someone else, such as Puyi's younger brother, the emperor.
For the Japanese, as long as the emperor of Manchukuo can get the support of some elders from the previous dynasty, that's fine. As for who will be the emperor, it doesn't make much difference. As long as they listen to them and be a puppet, that's it.
, the value of Puyi was greatly reduced. If the Japanese wanted to redeem these two people, it was just for the sake of face."
"That makes sense. What price are you going to ask for?" Wang Husheng asked.
"This time, I met our comrades from the New Anti-League Regiment when I was wiping out the Japs' bacterial base. The Japs actually used the captured prisoners of the New Anti-League Regiment for human experiments. We must rescue these captured comrades. In addition,
Winter is coming soon, and I want to use the two of them to get some supplies for the winter," Xu Rui said.
"Ah? This is too cheap," Wang Lusheng said.
"Otherwise? How much do you think you can exchange for it? But although ants are small, they are still pieces of meat. I don't have enough food to feed idle people here."
Wang Husheng sighed and said: "Old Xu, sometimes, I really feel that you are so powerful that you are almost like a monster. You can plot everything. You have a way to overcome any difficult situation. China has
You are a great blessing."
Xu Rui said: "Don't praise me so much, making me look like a savior. No matter how powerful I am alone, without everyone's help, I wouldn't have been able to achieve so many victories."
After Xu Rui said this, he looked into the distance and said, "Old Wang, it's almost dawn."
Wang Husheng followed Xu Rui's gaze and looked into the distance. Sure enough, in the eastern sky, the sun had revealed a golden edge, and the dark sky became brighter.
Seeing this scene, Wang Husheng also felt something, and said: "Old Xu, China's innocence is about to shine..."
In the following days, Xu Rui took the initiative to contact the Japanese, claiming that as long as the Japanese paid a reasonable price, he could redeem Dasong Hirozheng and Puyi. However, the Japanese seemed to be slow to respond. It was only two days later that the Japanese said
, willing to negotiate for the release of Dasong Hirozheng and Puyi.
Xu Rui's request was very simple. He asked for the release of all officers and soldiers of the New Anti-Japanese Regiment who had been captured in previous battles, and also required 30,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes for the winter.
In fact, Xu Rui's real target is only the captured officers and soldiers of the new regiment. As for cotton-padded clothes, Xu Rui's Wujiashan base area is backed by the Primorsky Krai, and there is no shortage of winter supplies. The reason why Xu Rui wants 30,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes is just to follow
A Japanese way of bargaining.
Sure enough, the Japanese and Xu Rui bargained for a while, and finally the two sides agreed that the Japanese would release more than 300 captured officers and soldiers of the New Anti-Union Regiment captured in previous battles, and hand over 10,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes to the New Anti-Union Regiment.
Xu Rui released Dasong Bozheng and Puyi.
In fact, the Anti-Japanese New Regiment lost far more than 300 officers and soldiers in previous battles. However, the Japanese's treatment of prisoners of war was extremely cruel. Most of them were tortured to death. Xu Rui calculated that more than 300 people were killed.
Prisoners of war should be considered a very reliable number.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed, and the time has entered November of 1941. The first snowfall after winter fell in the Hunchunling area. The snow fell heavily, and the entire Hunchunling area seemed to be covered with snow.
With a layer of white quilt and silver makeup, everything looks so beautiful and peaceful.
But Xu Rui knew that this peace and beauty was just on the surface. The Japanese would not be willing to fail. They must be brewing a bigger conspiracy...
