Seeing Ma Chunsheng's helpless smile, Wang Xiaoming shook his head slightly and said: "Old Ma, we were classmates when we were in the martial arts hall in Northeast China. We also lived and died together in the whirlpool of the civil war. Who are you? , I am very clear. I don¡¯t know what your true thoughts are now, but one thing I know is that you are definitely not the kind of person who is determined to be a traitor."
"Not to mention anything else, just based on our qualifications in the first period of the Jiangwu Hall, even if this Manchurian was really a puppet of the Kwantung Army, you kid would not have gotten to where you are now. You kid is not stupid, he is superficial. He will still do it. The Japanese invaded Guan Nei on a large scale the year before last. In order to completely tie the puppet Manchukuo troops into tanks and flaunt their so-called Japanese-Manchu unity, didn¡¯t the Japanese also mobilize two brigades to participate in the battle in Guan Nei?¡±
"Even if they are trying to win over graduates like us from the Northeast Martial Arts Hall to work for them, they will not sit back and watch you stay out of the matter. Don't tell me, the little devil is really blind, leaving you alone as a rookie. Be the director of a small police station here?"
Having said this, Wang Xiaoming looked at his subordinates who were pulling up the traitors one by one. After a long silence, he said: "Your head is spinning very fast. I know you have put a lot of thought into this issue. I don't know that you What methods were used to fool the Japanese, but one thing I can tell you clearly is that you will get into trouble sooner or later if you continue like this."
"The little devils are ruthless. They dared to blow up Marshal Zhang to death in Huanggutun when he refused to listen to them. If you have the ability, you can still compare to Marshal Zhang who had hundreds of thousands of troops back then. Listen to this brother. , rather than being cornered by the Japanese with no way out, it would be better to escape as soon as possible."
"Although our team has not been established for a long time, it is developing rapidly and is in need of talents from all aspects. Our commander is also eager for talent and chooses talents in an eclectic way. As long as you are capable and determined to resist Japan, he will With heavy responsibility.¡±
"The deputy commander of the artillery regiment, Ma Qichang, who is currently commanding the first artillery unit at Qunce Mountain, was also from the old Northeast Army. Later, he defected to the enemy with his superiors and became a traitor inexplicably. He was also from the Puppet Manchukuo Army, but the commander not only entrusted him with important tasks, but also He also has great trust in him. Many of the old brothers he brought over have already taken up the position of commanders."
"The commander once told me that the so-called ** is not a complete army of a country, but is actually just a large alliance composed of various factions. Rather than being the national defense force, it is better to say that many of them are provincial defense forces. Many of them are even composed of the original warlord troops, and many officers and soldiers have no concept of country in their hearts. For them, the commander is heaven."
"Not to mention others, we are the students who graduated from the Northeast Martial Arts Hall. Except for the Zhang family and his son, there were a few who could listen to the Beiyang Government and later the Nanjing National Government. It is said that after the change of flag, they were unified. But we Apart from the young marshal, who else have heard of it? When Guo Songling rebelled against the enemy, and during the decisive battle at Juliuhe, the young marshal sent planes to drop leaflets against Guo Jun, but he just wrote that if the old Zhang family does not fight the old Zhang family, then Successfully destroyed Guo Jun's morale."
"Soldiers are generals, and the officers and soldiers below follow the will of their superiors. They do whatever the superiors tell them to do. They have no concept of country or nation. This caused a large number of troops who stayed in the Northeast to surrender one after another after the September 18th Incident. If one brigade commander surrenders to the enemy, the entire brigade will surrender to the enemy. If we say that these officers and soldiers are determined to become traitors, it is probably too one-sided. That is why our commander has always emphasized the need to treat them differently."
"Lao Ma, come and join us. I think you will find a new army that is completely different from the ones you have been exposed to before, and you will find a new world where you can fully demonstrate your talents."
In response to Wang Xiaoming's persuasion, Ma Chunsheng smiled bitterly and said: "You have done this, what else can I do? Is it possible that I stay and let those people eat me alive? You don't even look at the way those people look at me. I don't want to He is a hard-core traitor and has been messing around. But there are many people who can count on the Japanese to get promoted and make a fortune."
"I'm afraid the people over there are all people with this idea. If anyone still has a bit of national spirit and blood, according to the style of your commander, they would have been encouraged to join you. It is still their turn to watch the execution here. , Accompany and kidnap? As the army continues to expand, it requires not only equipment, but also qualified officers and well-trained soldiers. Although the Japanese control the Manchurian army extremely tightly. But in order to train them capable thugs, in These officers and soldiers have also put in a lot of hard work."
"Compared with the old Northeast Army, these people are at least above the average level in terms of combat effectiveness. If your commander really has an open mind like you said, and dares to use these people freely, These people will bring the combat effectiveness of your troops to a new level, at least in a short period of time. You know, the more well-trained veterans an army has, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the army will be."
Having said this, Ma Chunsheng looked at the sentencing meeting being held on the execution ground with some absent-mindedness. He was silent for a long time before saying: "Since your commander has done such a thing for a small and inconspicuous person like me, I have nothing to hesitate about. However, I have to say first that I can be a staff officer, or even chief of staff, but don¡¯t let me lead the troops."
"I know how much I am capable of. As a staff member, I am good at making suggestions for my superiors and analyzing the battle situation. If I were to charge into battle, it would be a bit difficult for others. As a person, you must know how much your own capabilities are. Don't dream about things that are beyond your ability. If you are so ambitious, you will harm not only yourself. I don't want to be Ma Su."
Regarding Ma Chunsheng's words, Wang Xiaoming smiled and said: "You and the commander thought together. He also said that you are a rare staff talent. In order to convince me, he also cited a lot of the importance of staff officers. It is also said that the staff is the brain of an army. The importance of a qualified and excellent combat staff is no less important than that of a military chief."
"However, you must also be mentally prepared. I listen to the commander. In addition to letting you serve as combat staff, I also want to let you serve as a part-time instructor in the staff training team to assist the chief of staff in training staff. However, if the commander If the officer really decides to do this, the chief of staff will be much more relaxed now."
Hearing Wang Xiaoming talk about their commander's thoughts on his use, Ma Chunsheng couldn't help but move in his heart: "You still have a staff training team there? Your commander's vision is indeed different. In this environment, , I can still think of running a school, but there is someone with a long-term vision.¡±
Regarding Ma Chunsheng's irrefutable statement, Wang Xiaoming did not explain much. He just said: "You will know when you actually join. We not only have staff training teams there, but also various crash training teams. It is during the march. , we also march and fight during the day and have classes at night.¡±
"Of course, the army is still in its infancy, and there are still some shortages of instructors and teaching materials. In addition to the fact that the commander-in-chief, commander, and chief of staff all have classes in person at the head of the headquarters, I, a graduate of the Northeast Martial Arts Hall, am the political commissar of the regiment during the day and also serve as a political commissar at night. Guest teachers and students are required. Almost all the teaching materials are compiled by the commander and chief of staff."
"However, it is better for those of us who are the grassroots military and political officials. There are commanders, political commissars, and chiefs of staff on top. Although we are a little tired, we can still take a rest. The most tiring ones are the commanders and chiefs of staff, who have to lead during the day. Team training, compilation of teaching materials. In the evening, they also have to teach various crash training teams. When others rest, they still have to study the situation, analyze the battle situation, and study combat plans. At the busiest time, they can only sleep an average of two or three hours a day. "
Wang Xiaoming didn¡¯t know why he said this to Ma Chunsheng, but he just wanted to tell this old classmate that although his army was young, it definitely had a bright future. And the previous achievements of his troops were definitely not a fluke, but a result of strength.
Wang Xiaoming started from the battle in the north of Dunhua, the battle in the north of Dunhua, the sneak attack at Jingbo Lake, the battle at Qunce Mountain, and continued to the battle in the previous paragraph that was privately hailed as a classic battle by the commander-in-chief. Although due to time constraints, he did not go into detail, the information revealed was enough for Ma Chunsheng to digest for a while.
When the gunfire rang out on the execution ground, Ma Chunsheng still hadn't woken up from the shock caused by his words. Seeing the expression of his old classmate who was calm about everything, Wang Xiaoming smiled and turned his attention to the execution ground without saying anything more.
In fact, although Yang Zhen was determined to get Ma Chunsheng to join the army, although he did not explain it very clearly, Wang Xiaoming could roughly guess it. It is true that the army has expanded now, and the quality of the existing personnel is far from meeting the needs of the army, especially the shortage of qualified staff officers.
Those who have only been trained in the short -sighted class in just one month, many people have not even completed the most basic requirements for staff of the staff. But not nearly as serious as the commander told himself. Although most of them could not satisfy the commander, there were a few who stood out among them. As long as you practice for a period of time, you can still take on big responsibilities.
The commander worked hard to get this guy. In addition to the fact that the army is in urgent need of such talents, Wang Xiaoming can even bet that at least part of the reason is for outsiders to see. The commander wanted to use this move to make sycamore trees and attract more talents at the same time. I also want to show my subordinates that as long as you are determined to fight against Japan and have talent, I can use anyone and dare to use it.
Wang Xiaoming, who turned his attention to the execution ground, looked at the batches of traitors who were so scared that they were pissed off after knowing their fate. Some of them even became incontinent on the spot, but there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth that was not easy for others to notice. If I had known this, why bother?At the beginning.
Looking at the batches of traitors being executed, both Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng beside him seemed very calm. Only when a colonel officer from the Seventh Military District of the Puppet Manchukuo District was executed and a colonel officer from the Seventh Military District of the Puppet Manchukuo District was pulled up for execution, did Wang Xiaoming's expression change slightly. Ma Chunsheng beside him let out a slight sigh.
And that person also saw them standing aside. Ma Chunsheng was fine, but Wang Xiaoming was wearing a Browning pistol and was followed by several guards carrying speed machines. He looked like a senior officer at first glance. But this man did not plead to Wang Xiaoming, but just nodded to them and walked to the execution ground. He was the only one of all the senior Japanese and Manchu officials who were captured to go to the execution ground himself.
When the execution gunfire fell, Wang Xiaoming saw an unnoticeable teardrop appearing in the corner of Ma Chunsheng's eyes next to him, and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be too sad, he chose his own path. Back then, he patted him on the shoulder. , it¡¯s not like he didn¡¯t have the chance to make another choice. But he gave up and chose such a path of no return.¡±
"To be honest, when I first saw him on the list of prisoners, I also wanted to plead with the commander. But after thinking about it, I gave up. He is talented and loyal. We were in the martial arts hall back then. I have always been indebted to him for taking care of me. But his talent and loyalty were put to the wrong place."
"I'm afraid it's hard to count how many anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese comrades who have died in his hands over the years. Even though he is just a small colonel, his name has already been famous in various departments of the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Alliance. No. Without killing him, the commander will not be able to explain to the anti-Japanese armies, let alone the anti-Japanese comrades who died under his butcher knife."
"I don't pity him, I just feel sorry for him. Did you know that after the September 18th Incident, the young marshal sent a letter to ask him to go to the customs. Even the travel expenses were sent to him, and the escort also came over . But he chose such a path. With his talent and the attention of the young commander, this guy would not have reached the point where he is today even if he went to the customs. And I was forced by him to become this fake policeman of."
"However, even though he forced me to be this traitor, I don't know why, but I can't hate him. Although this guy did something extremely unfair in this matter, he has treated me extremely badly over the years. Take care of me. In the year when Emperor Kant of the Puppet Manchukuo came to the throne, the Puppet Manchukuo Military and Political Department drafted me to serve in the Changchun Puppet Guards Infantry Regiment, and it was he who helped me get rid of it."
"He forced me to become a traitor, but he also helped me get rid of a lot of troubles. That year, Guo Songling rebelled against me, and I was the bodyguard of Chief Guo. After the failure, it was he who begged the young marshal for mercy that made me I was not implicated, so I went to work as a guard for the young marshal. It was also when he was the instructor of the Jiangwu Hall that he selected me to study in the Jiangwu Hall. I don¡¯t know whether to be grateful to him or hate him."
"He has talent, otherwise he would not be so highly regarded by the young marshal and Chief Guo. When Chief Guo objected to the marshal's revolt, he refused to respond. When he hid in the Tianjin Concession, Chief Guo once said to me, if he could If you help me, I¡¯m already five points sure about this matter.¡±
"His identity harmed him. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for more than 20 years, so why did he come here? Is the national justice still inferior to his dream of rejuvenation?"
The two people were talking like this. No one mentioned this person's name, but it was obvious that this person had a great influence on the two of them. After a brief conversation, the two fell into silence again. Until this moment of silence was interrupted by the cavalry communications staff who came to look for Wang Xiaoming.
When the communications staff saw Wang Xiaoming, he quickly dismounted and saluted: "Political Commissar Wang, the enemy's situation has changed. The commander orders you to immediately gather the troops in the city and organize the personnel and materials to evacuate immediately. The commander has repeatedly asked me to tell you that no one should be left behind."
After hearing the report from the communications staff, Wang Xiaoming listened to the intensive sound of gunfire still ringing in the Japanese barracks over the station. He frowned and said, "How is the battle going at the regimental commander's side? Why does it take so long? Can¡¯t solve the battle?¡±
"Political Commissar, the battle on Commander Liu's side was not going well. Under the attack of our army, the remaining Japanese aggressors gave up all their peripheral positions and withdrew into the core fortifications. Although this core fortification is not large, it is extremely solid. . Our army failed several attacks, and the Qiwushan field artillery had no effect at all even at close range."
After listening to the communications staff report, Wang Xiaoming shook his head, feeling very depressed for his partner. He knew that the commander had already made up his mind to retreat when he gave him this order, and he might not leave Liu Changshun any more time to continue the attack. Seeing victory in sight but not being able to take full credit, I'm afraid my partner will be depressed for a while.
To be honest, after seeing the Qunceshan base built by the Japanese army, Wang Xiaoming also had a feeling for the little ghost.?I am very convinced by this fine energy. As a secret warehouse, its permanent fortifications are built to be fired at close range by 150mm heavy artillery, which is difficult to destroy. As for the core fortifications in the Japanese military camp in Jiamusi, which is an important transportation thoroughfare, one can imagine its solidity.
I don¡¯t have heavy artillery in my hand, so it¡¯s almost impossible to blow up even the 150mm heavy artillery with the Qiwu Mountain field artillery. It¡¯s almost impossible to destroy the permanent fortifications. Thinking about it, if those Qiwu mountain field shells were hit, I'm afraid it wouldn't even scratch the itch. No wonder Liu Changshun fought so hard, and he still hasn't been able to finally end the battle.
Wang Xiaoming was wondering why Liu Changshun's side was so difficult to chew, but Ma Chunsheng beside him said to the communications staff: "Go back and tell the commander that it is better to give up the last blow against the Japanese army and evacuate quickly. Jiamusi has convenient transportation. Once the surrounding Japanese troops encircle us, they will be passive against us."
"As for the remaining Japanese troops, even if they stay, they will not pose any threat to us. Just say what I said, we evacuate, and those Japanese soldiers will never dare to pursue us. They will not pose any threat to us. We are now The most important thing to do is to evacuate decisively, rather than clinging to the small number of Japanese troops who no longer pose a threat to our army. This will not only cause casualties to our army, but will not be of any use to the next battle. "
Hearing Ma Chunsheng¡¯s words, the communications staff officer who came to convey the order was slightly startled. He didn¡¯t know who the guy in front of him was in the uniform of the Puppet Manchukuo policeman. He actually dared to say what he said in front of him. Who does he think he is?
Seeing the confused expression on the communications staff officer's face, Wang Xiaoming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Convey his words to the commander exactly as he said without changing a word. Don't worry, the commander knows who he is. Just say he is Staff Officer Ma The commander will listen."
After sending away the confused communications officer who didn't know when a certain Staff Officer Ma would appear and returned to the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming turned to Ma Chunsheng and said: "You got into the state quite quickly. The other side just agreed to join us. Are you starting to perform your duties as a combat staff officer here?"
"I'm going to report to the commander tomorrow. How about letting you concurrently serve as the chief of staff of our regiment? Our chief of staff was originally a military officer and has never done any staff work. He is just trying to catch up. He is not very qualified. When a war starts, he abandons all work as soon as the gunfire rings, and just rushes forward. You let him charge into the battle, he is quite competent, but being the chief of staff who makes plans for the main force is a bit beyond his capabilities. "
Regarding Wang Xiaoming's consideration, Ma Chunsheng said: "I still won't go to your place. We are all graduates of the Northeast Army's martial arts hall. When we get together, it is easy for people to feel that those of us who came from the martial arts hall are trying to form a group. . Once you arouse the suspicion of your superiors, coupled with my background, it will not have a good impact on you. I'd better talk to the commander and become a teacher of the staff training team. Teaching is more suitable for me. "
Seeing this guy's doubtful look, Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said: "You, you still underestimated our commander's mind. The commander has made it clear that he will re-employ you, what do you have to worry about? To be honest , I still want you to join a group to help me. The group leader has the ability, but still lacks experience. If you go, you can learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses."
Regarding Wang Xiaoming's attempt to let him serve as chief of staff, Ma Chunsheng smiled and shook his head, and said unequivocally: "Don't try to persuade me. You still have to listen to your superiors when it comes to my use. We all As soldiers, we should understand that obeying orders is our bounden duty.
