    After spending the Lantern Festival of 1939 on the march, after several days of marching, Yang Zhen led his troops on the 16th day of the first lunar month and crossed the mountainous area in the north of Dunhua.  On the upper reaches of the Langlang River, they braved the severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius and waded through waist-deep snow to the west of Guangtu Mountain in the north of Dunhua to join Li Mingrui's troops who had already completed their assembly.

    After meeting Li Mingrui, Yang Zhen ignored the pleasantries and immediately opened the map and asked Li Mingrui: "How is the enemy situation in Dunhua?"

    Looking at Yang Zhen who had already opened the map, Li Mingrui and the others, who had just raised their hands to the brim of their hats and were about to salute, could only put down their hands in embarrassment.  Looking at the few people who were a little at a loss, Li Yanping next to him could only smile helplessly: "It's not that you don't know that our captain is not good at this. Okay, let's not pay attention to that. Let's introduce the enemy situation quickly.  .¡±

    Li Mingrui shook his head and could only follow Li Yanping's instructions and start introducing the enemy.  Li Mingrui pointed at the map and said: "A few days ago, when we were looking for Lao Huang and others, we discovered several small groups of Japanese and puppet troops in the mountains and forests west of Dongbeicha River and south of Pipadingzi Mountain and Miaolingzi Mountain.  "

    "These Japanese and puppet troops were composed of a small Japanese army and a company of puppet troops. After escorting some supplies and tents into the mountains, they set up military stations in many flat areas or mountain valleys. They also sent small groups of troops to conduct in-depth reconnaissance.  "

    "We once captured a Puppet Manchu Army soldier who fell behind due to frostbite east of Pipa Dingzi Mountain. After interrogation, we obtained a lot of useful things. This Puppet Manchu Army soldier was once the guard of a Puppet Army brigade commander. During the Spring Festival,  At one time, he beat up a superior officer because of something, so he was sent down to serve as a soldier. I took out a lot of useful things from this kid's mouth."

    "According to this prisoner's confession, the Japanese and puppet troops sent troops this time out of the norm. Instead of being dominated by the puppet Manchu army, they were now dominated by the Japanese army. The puppet army no longer takes on the task of suppressing the enemy and is mainly responsible for baggage and supplies."

    "Although this guy became an ordinary soldier because he was kicked down, he had the trust of the puppet brigade commander and was that guy's die-hard confidant. Originally, his matter was not a big deal to him, and neither did their brigade commander.  The meaning of investigation."

    "But the staff officer who was beaten had a very good relationship with the consultant of the Kwantung Army. It is said that the consultant was a student of the Puppet Manchukuo Military Academy. So the reason why he was dealt with was because the consultant pressured him to do it. If it was according to the Japanese consultant's wishes, it would have been  He was going to be shot. Later, the brigade commander didn't know what method he used to save him, but he could no longer work at the top and was sent down to serve as a soldier."

    "However, although this guy was assigned to serve as a soldier, because he was the brigade commander's confidant, he was often called back by the brigade commander to help the brigade commander handle some private matters that could not be known to outsiders. Before entering the mountain this time, he helped  Following their brigade commander, we dealt with a large number of illegal goods. Because the traitor had great trust in him, he did not hide many things. Commander, we took out the general plan of the Japanese invasion from his mouth. "

    "This time, the Japanese and puppet troops are divided into three groups. On the first line, two squadrons of the Japanese army are allocated to one battalion of the puppet army. They start from the old Emu line and sweep from south to north. On the other side, one brigade of the Japanese army is allocated to one battalion of the puppet Manchukuo army from Shahezi.  Set out to sweep from west to east. The main task of the Japanese and puppet troops along this route is to cut off the connection between Ning'an and Dunhua and prevent our troops from escaping northward."

    "The other route starts from Xiaoshanzuizi, and the specific strength of the troops is unknown. However, according to the prisoner's confession, the Japanese and puppet troops on this route not only have the largest number of troops among the three routes, but also specially transferred a member of the puppet Jing'an Army from South Manchuria.  The regiment cooperates in fighting. The meeting point of these three Japanese armies is where we are now."

    After listening to Li Mingrui's report, Yang Zhen pondered for a long time before saying: "Mingrui, do you think this puppet Manchu army's confession is reliable? With such a deployment, let alone an ordinary soldier of the puppet Manchu army, even a low-level Japanese officer  Clearly, how could he know it in such detail?¡±

    "Probably not. This guy said that the reason he knew these things was because he went to the brigade headquarters before setting off, and their brigade commander was drinking. His brigade commander was drunk and complained to him that the little Japs didn't treat them as human beings.  Look. At this time when the mountain is covered by heavy snow and the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, the brothers are not allowed to go into the mountain. They are also allowed to use them as livestock to carry supplies for them. The merit is the little devil's, and the hardships and sufferings are all theirs.  "

    "At this time, the snow in the mountains is waist-deep, and it is difficult to move with bare hands, let alone carrying things. Let the brothers carry ammunition and food for them, which will tire the brothers to death."

    "This guy said that the Kwantung Army Headquarters ordered that the Japanese and puppet troops be deployed in a one-to-one ratio for this attack. The Japanese army will be responsible for the operation, and the puppet Manchukuo army will specifically provide supplies for the Japanese army this time. According to the Japanese army's requirements  , each puppet Manchu soldier must carry at least one box of ammunition or one bag of grain."

    For Li MingruiTo be sure, Yang Zhen was silent for a while and then said to Li Mingrui: "Is that kid still there? Bring him here."

    Hearing this, Li Mingrui waved his hand, and the two soldiers behind him quickly brought back a puppet Manchu soldier who was tightly tied with the special buckles he taught Yang Zhen for capturing prisoners.

    Looking at the squatting person in front of him, he didn't know whether he was cold or frightened. His whole body was covered in chaff, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. It was obvious that he had received a warm reception after being caught. As soon as he met him, he knelt down to Yang Zhen and shouted.  The Puppet Manchukuo soldiers who spared their lives.  Yang Zhen could only give up the idea of ??asking directly for the time being, and first calmed his extremely panicked mood and said, "You don't have to be afraid. As long as you tell the truth what you told the person who arrested you, we won't kill you."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen turned around and glared at Li Mingrui, who was always beside him, and said, "Untie the rope for him. Get him a cup of hot water to warm him up."

    Seeing Yang Zhen¡¯s friendly expression on the prisoner, Li Mingrui scratched his head and wondered what he meant. He could only ask the people around him to pour half a military lunch box of hot water for him from the kettle that was placed on the campfire.

    ¡°Perhaps it was because he had warmed up a lot after drinking some hot water, and the prisoner¡¯s hysterical mood just now finally stabilized.

    Looking at Yang Zhen who was smiling faintly at him, the prisoner asked cautiously: "Sir, you can ask whatever you want to ask. However, everything I know has been told to that officer. You  Even if you ask me again, I can only give the same answer. What the officer and I told is the truth. If there is even half a lie, I will be struck by lightning."

    Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about that for now. I heard that you were originally working as a guard for your brigade commander, but you were dismissed and sent to the army for beating your own commander. Can you tell me why you beat yourself up?  My own commander. I know that all the rules and regulations of your Puppet Manchukuo army are copied from the Japanese army. The hierarchy is extremely strict. As a soldier, beating your own commander is a serious crime. I don¡¯t think you are an impulsive person. How could you do such a reckless thing?  What happened?"

    Perhaps it was the faint smile that always appeared on Yang Zhen's face that made the puppet Manchukuo soldier completely relaxed. In response to Yang Zhen's question, he said without any hesitation: "I beat this guy because he deserves to die.  If I weren't afraid of causing trouble to the host, I would have killed that bastard with one shot."

    "My name is Guo Dachun. I am from Changting in Ning'an County. I was originally a soldier in the Northeastern Army. After the September 18th Incident, when the Kwantung Army attacked Jilin, I joined the Manchuria Army together with Brigadier, who was the commander of the Northeastern Army's Provincial Defense Corps.  country. Before the September 18th Incident, I was a second lieutenant platoon leader. Later, the unit was incorporated by the Kwantung Army and the organization was reduced, so I became a staff sergeant again."

    "I first served as the squad leader, and then I was selected by the brigade and became his personal guard, specializing in handling some private matters for him. The staff officer who was beaten was later transferred to our brigade. What is the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School?  Graduate. The top advisor sent by the Kwantung Army to our brigade was his teacher at the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School."

    "This kid relied on his teacher-student relationship with the top adviser to run rampant in the army. He wanted to participate in everything without saying anything. He also used his relationship with the army to smuggle opium, sell women, harbor prostitutes, gamble, and open opium dens privately. As long as he could  There¡¯s nothing he wouldn¡¯t dare to do to make money.¡±

    "Since our troops were ordered to move to Changting at the end of last year, this guy has been robbing common people's women and selling them in the name of catching bandits. He actually reached out to my sister. If I hadn't begged the brigade to speak, my sister  He sold it in the name of dealing with bandits."

    "Seeing this kid harming my fellow villagers and my sisters, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I beat him up with the strength of alcohol. Later, when the consultant insisted on shooting me, our brigade commander used three gold bars.  I bought my life back. Later I found out that 60% of the money this kid earned from doing these bad things would be shared with that bastard consultant."

    "That consultant is a captain in the Japanese Army Reserves. His tenure as a consultant is over, and there is basically no possibility of promotion. In addition to monitoring us in accordance with the requirements of the Kwantung Army, this old boy is just trying to make money."

    "The Japanese are very strict with corruption, so he doesn't dare to embezzle military pay. This old boy was blinded by the wealth plundered by the officers who were transferred from the battlefield of Guanzhong to the Kwantung Army in Guanzhong, and he went crazy trying to make money.  I just wanted to take a side road."

    "He couldn't come forward himself, so he used his teacher-student relationship to let that bastard act as the middleman. He used his relationship within the Kwantung Army to open up all kinds of channels, and that bastard came forward."

    "But that bastard didn't take this risk for him in vain. In addition to a 40-60 share of the money he made, the old boy promised him to help him operate the brigade as chief of staff in the future. It's just what these two people thought they were doing.  Hidden, but notI know that bastard's guard is my brother-in-law.  They can¡¯t hide their affairs from me at all,¡±

    Having said this, he licked his lips and gritted his teeth: "Sir, I know you think I am a traitor, but there is nothing I can do about it. I don't want to accuse this person of being a traitor and carry this ugly name."  , even after death, they would not have the face to see their ancestors.¡±

    "But I am just a top soldier. I know nothing except obeying the orders of my commander. The reason why I was promoted to platoon leader was because I was willing to work hard during the war. But I was also transferred from the regular army to the provincial  Defense Army. However, I don¡¯t understand what national hatred is, but I do know family hatred. Sir, as long as you can kill that bastard and eliminate harm for the people, I will follow you, absolutely without any hesitation."

    After listening to Guo Dachun's words, Yang Zhen carefully looked at his expression after saying this, and then said silently: "I believe what you said is true. As for what you said about killing that kid, I promise you  . And not only do you promise to kill that kid, but I also promise you to kill that bullshit consultant. But I have a condition, do you dare to let you go back to your army?"

    After Yang Zhen finished speaking, not only Guo Dachun looked at him with doubts, but also Li Mingrui on the side looked at him with confusion.

    Seeing the two people looking at him with puzzled eyes, Yang Zhen smiled lightly and said: "You are your brigade commander's confidant. I think as long as that Japanese military adviser who insists on killing you and that bullshit staff officer die, your brigade commander will still think of something."  I transferred you back to my side. As for the reason why you returned to your brigade commander, you are a smart man, and I don¡¯t need to say more about the rest."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen looked at Guo Dachun, who looked hesitant after understanding what he said, and smiled: "I won't force you. But I hope you will remember that no matter where you are now, China is in your bones."  Human blood.¡±

    "The parents who named you, your ancestors are Chinese. The land that raised you is also China's territory. Although it is now called Manchukuo, this name was imposed on Northeast China by the Japanese. But after all, there is  One day, we will completely and completely liberate him. Maybe that day will be far away, but as long as we Chinese are not willing to be enslaved by them and persist in the struggle, the day of victory will eventually come."

    After saying these words, looking at Guo Dachun who was still hesitant, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "I won't force you, I think even if I let you go back, you will still understand these truths one day. I just  I hope it¡¯s not too late for you to understand. Okay, now you can tell me about the situation of the Eighth Wing. I think there should be no problem with this, right?¡±

    Hearing Yang Zhen turn the topic to the 8th Regiment that was going on the offensive this time, Guo Dachun's slightly relaxed face suddenly showed a trace of confusion: "Sir, I really don't understand the 8th Regiment.  Since the September 18th Incident, I have come into contact with quite a few Japanese troops, but this is the first time I have seen Japanese troops like this one from the Eighth Regiment."

    "The Eighth Regiment had just withdrawn from Xijiang and moved here to participate in the blockade. When they got off the bus from Dunhua, our brigade was ordered to cover them. I heard that the Eighth Regiment was the first group formed by the Japanese army.  Team, we thought that the Anti-Japanese Alliance was going to suffer now. I have seen the combat effectiveness of those veteran divisions of the Japanese army, not to mention the National Army, even the original Northeastern Army is inferior."

    "But these Japanese soldiers of the Eighth Regiment didn't look like soldiers to me, but looked like traders. When we picked them up at Dunhua Station, we discovered that almost every one of these Japanese soldiers had at least two  There were more than three pieces of baggage. Among them were ginseng and fur. In short, these Japanese soldiers had all the things that could be sold in the Xiajiang area. Later I found out that our brigade was called to Dunhua Station.  He is not serving as a guard, but as a laborer for others."

    ¡°Originally, I thought these were their trophies from going down the river, but I didn¡¯t expect that these Japanese soldiers didn¡¯t assemble as quickly as other Japanese troops as soon as they got off the bus. Instead, they first sold their goods to us and the passing tourists.  These Japanese soldiers were so bold that they even sold bullets to the public, including one hundred rounds of Type 38 rifle bullets and ten yuan of Manchukuo currency. Not only did the Japanese officers not stop it, many officers even participated in it."

    "Originally, these people got off the train at two o'clock in the afternoon, but by the time they left the small station in Dunhua, it was already six o'clock in the evening. In addition to these Japanese soldiers selling goods, we only bought a few additional items from the military train.  It took a full two hours to unload their belongings from the freight train. If these Japanese soldiers hadn't all spoken pure Japanese and were wearing Japanese military uniforms, I would have thought we were at that big gathering."

    I can¡¯t go up again.  The first few chapters are all?I have no time to update the Internet cafe in the past two days, so I can only delay it.  I've done the process again today, hoping it won't be too stuck.  Now that I am pretending to be a Tietong website, my intestines are about to turn green.  If China Unicom didn't have network cables, why would I install Railcom and get myself sick?
