After leaving the task of arranging the wounded to Zhang Hao, Li Yunsheng asked people to bring the prisoners over and decided to interrogate them first.
After the prisoner was brought in, Li Yunsheng said word for word: "Now is your last chance. If I think you have lied, I will shoot you immediately." The reason why he brought the prisoner back was because Li Yunsheng had a kind of
I felt that this prisoner was probably a member of the poison gas unit, that's why.
When the prisoner heard Li Yunsheng's words, he immediately replied nervously: "Sir, please don't kill me. If you have any questions, just ask. I will never lie."
Li Yunsheng asked coldly: "What is your name? Please tell me your unit number."
The prisoner immediately replied: "My name is Matsumoto Makuma. The unit has no designation. Internally it is called the Togo unit."
Li Yunsheng was very confused about Matsumoto Masakuma's answer. After all, he had never heard of this Dongxiang unit, so he asked: "I have never heard of this unit. Where is your station and what does it do?"
Matsumoto Masakuma immediately said: "The Dongxiang troops are stationed in Manchuria. They are the secret troops of the Kwantung Army. Because the war in Shanghai was tense, some people were transferred to Shanghai to help in the war." He stopped here, and then glanced at Li Yunsheng, his expression
Some hesitation.
Seeing that Matsumoto Zhenxiong was hesitant, Li Yunsheng immediately shouted outside: "Someone, pull this guy out and kill him."
Immediately, two people came in from outside, then without any explanation, they picked up Matsumoto Makuma and dragged him outside hard.
Although he couldn't understand what Li Yunsheng was talking about, seeing the two men's rough actions, Matsumoto Masaki immediately became frightened. While struggling, he begged for mercy: "Don't be like this. I told you that the Dongxiang troops are developing secret weapons."
Li Yunsheng waited for his men to drag Matsumoto Makoto to the door, and then he said, "Stop it and put him back."
When the subordinates heard Li Yunsheng's instructions, they stopped moving. Matsumoto Zhenxiong immediately struggled away, then panted heavily and looked at Li Yunsheng nervously, his eyes full of timidity.
Li Yunsheng waved his hand to let his men out, and then said in Japanese: "Our two countries are at war. I don't have time to waste with you, so don't test my patience. This is the last time. If I ask you something, do you dare to hesitate?
There is no chance to continue talking."
Matsumoto Makoto nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and kept saying: "No, no, I will answer whatever the officer asks, and I will never hesitate."
Li Yunsheng nodded. The reason why he treated Matsumoto Zhenxiong so roughly was because he saw that this person was timid and afraid of death, so he asked coldly: "How many people are here in total? When did you arrive in Shanghai?
You know when you plan to use poison gas bombs."
Matsumoto Makuma was very straightforward this time and said without any hesitation: "We have a small team, a total of twelve people, who came to Shanghai the day before yesterday. We plan to use special bombs for combat today."
Li Yunsheng asked here: "How many special bombs have you brought, what types are these special bombs, and what are their functions."
Matsumoto Makuma said softly: "This batch of special bombs has just been produced, so the number shipped to Shanghai is not large. The convoy you attacked was only half loaded, and the other half has been transported to the front line. These special bombs
It is a tear-gas bomb, which can make people cry and cough continuously, and can suffocate people to death in a short period of time."
Hearing what Matsumoto Makuma said, Li Yunsheng let out a sigh of relief. After all, this type of gas bomb is not without methods, and the casualties caused are slightly lower. It would be difficult to deal with the putrid gas bomb, so he
After asking a few questions, he was led away.
At this time Xu Bing came over and said seriously: "Section Chief, the situation has been reported and a call back has been received. Commander Chen asked you to go to the Corps Headquarters as soon as possible to report the specific situation."
Li Yunsheng said immediately: "I will go to the Corps Headquarters right away. You will arrange for someone to take the gas bombs and prisoners we brought back to the Corps Headquarters." After the explanation, he stood up and left.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Yunsheng rushed to the Corps Headquarters. At this time, the headquarters was very busy, with combat staff constantly coming and going. At this time, Chen Xiucheng was on the phone. When he put down the phone, he saw Li Yunsheng coming and spoke.
Asked: "How many poison gas bombs did the Japanese bring?"
Li Yunsheng immediately replied: "The number will not be too many, and half of them were destroyed by us, but there should be more than 400 artillery shells that were transported to the front line."
When Chen Xiucheng heard this answer, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with fear: "You have made great contributions this time. If your news had not arrived in time, we would have suffered a big loss this time."
Li Yunsheng did not expect that the convoy he decided to attack on the spur of the moment turned out to be transporting poison gas bombs, and he achieved considerable results. Although it was a bit of a fluke, he would never say so, so he immediately said: "My subordinates have not taken any action these days.
We just want to find important targets before we attack, so that we can achieve greater results."
Chen Xiucheng nodded and said affirmatively: "Your idea is right. If we attack some ordinary supplies, the effect is really not great. Even if we succeed ten times, the results will not be as great as this time."
Hearing that Chen Xiucheng agreed with his idea, Li Yunsheng was completely relieved, so he changed the topic and asked: "Commander, have the Japanese started using poison gas bombs? What are the casualties of our troops?"
Li Yunsheng learned this from the phone call just now, and the sound of guns and artillery on the front line is also constant now. Even within the headquarters, the intensity of the war can be felt.
Chen Xiucheng sighed and said: "At dawn, the Japanese used poison gas bombs on a large scale, causing heavy casualties to the troops. If I had not notified the frontline troops in time, the casualties would have been even greater."
For this kind of thing, Li Yunsheng had no choice but to condemn it internationally, hoping to put some pressure on the Japanese. So after reporting what Matsumoto Masakuma said, he said again: "Commander, when attacking the Japanese transport convoy
, I left a box of poison gas bombs, which will be sent to the headquarters in a moment. With this physical evidence, and the living person of Matsumoto Makuma, we can make this matter public internationally so that the Japanese cannot deny it.
"
Chen Xiucheng nodded and said softly: "This is feasible, but I guess it will have no effect. After all, those foreigners are not good people. At most, some countries will condemn Japan, but the Japanese will not care about this.
"
These words made Li Yunsheng understand. It seemed that the senior officials in the National Government also knew who those foreigners were. It was just that they had no choice but to rely on others. After all, the National Government still needed to purchase weapons and equipment from abroad. I was just about to say something
What, Chen Xiucheng said seriously: "Since the Japanese have started to use poison gas bombs, they will not use them just once, so your first priority now is to destroy the Japanese gas bombs as much as possible."
Li Yunsheng's expression immediately changed, and he complained: "Commander, this kind of thing is impossible for me to do. The gas bombs are shipped from the Northeast, and they will continue to be shipped to Shanghai. No matter what, I can't accomplish what you have done."
It's the assigned task." After saying that, he looked at Chen Xiucheng carefully, his eyes full of embarrassment.
Chen Xiucheng sighed and said: "I also know that this task is difficult, so you can give up other targets and specifically attack these gas bombs."
Seeing that Chen Xiucheng did not get angry, Li Yunsheng said directly: "Commander, I am not trying to shirk, but this task is too difficult and impossible to complete. It was a fluke that I succeeded last night, and in the battle last night, Independent
More than half of the detachment suffered casualties. More than fifty people died on the spot, and thirty or forty people were seriously injured. They cannot recover in a short time. Now the independent detachment can fight less than 200 people, so it is impossible to complete your order.
mission.”
The difficulty of this task is too high, so Li Yunsheng is so evasive. After all, it is difficult to distinguish which convoys are transporting gas bombs, and the convoy transporting gas bombs also has a small group of Japanese troops. The battle last night has already
Li Yunsheng had experienced the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, so he no longer dared to be arrogant.
Chen Xiucheng couldn't help but frown after hearing Li Yunsheng's words. After thinking for a while, he said: "Manpower can be replenished, but the mission must be carried out. You know, if you destroy one more gas bomb, there will be fewer casualties on the front line by hundreds of soldiers."
," the tone was very decisive, leaving no room for bargaining.
Li Yunsheng replied solemnly: "I obey my order and will try my best to complete the tasks assigned by the commander. However, I have made it clear that there is almost no hope of destroying all the Japanese poison gas bombs. I hope the commander will not blame me when they fall."
"After saying that, he looked at Chen Xiucheng, his eyes full of helplessness.
Chen Xiucheng also knew this truth, and saw Li Yunsheng's eyes, so he said: "Then you should do your best, but you are a soldier of the party and the state, as long as you feel that your actions can be worthy of this military uniform,"
Although he did not issue a death order, Chen Xiucheng still put a little pressure on Li Yunsheng.
Li Yunsheng then regained some confidence, and then said: "Commander, with the current strength of my subordinates, there is no way they can defeat the Japanese escort team, and after what happened last time, the Japanese will definitely be more cautious, so I hope Commander
Give me some more personnel and equipment."
Chen Xiucheng immediately said: "This is not a problem. Three detachments of your Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were disabled and I just withdrew them. They totaled more than 500 people. I will issue an order later to remove these people."
To supplement your independent detachment, you can report any weapons and ammunition needed, and I will let the logistics department give priority to them." This is why Chen Xiucheng values Li Yunsheng very much, so he is so easy to talk to.
Seeing this, Li Yunsheng stopped bargaining and asked Chen Xiucheng about the situation of the additional troops, then left the corps headquarters and returned to his station in downtown Shanghai.
