    Tao Jingfei couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he heard Yi Liangpin's explanation.  [¡®Street fighting is different from field fighting, especially when the local people have not been evacuated before the war, and they are helpless when fighting.  Except for some Belarusians and Japanese, most of these people are their own flesh and blood compatriots. This shell will cause death and injury.  The shells will not identify which ones are Chinese, which ones are Japanese, and which ones are White Russians.

    When the headquarters informed the Second Column of the battle outside Fangzheng County, Tao Jingfei did not take it seriously.  But when I encountered it myself, I realized what a headache is and what a rat-proof weapon is.  Looking at the map of Harbin city on the desktop, Tao Jingfei could only smile bitterly.  Surrounded by Chinese people, the Japanese army had no scruples, but they themselves could not.

    After thinking for a moment, Tao Jingfei said: "Old Yi, don't fight anymore, put up a battalion and watch them first. We can't be pinned down by a regiment because of such a small number of Japanese and puppet troops. Watch them first, and wait for the column  When the main force and artillery arrive, I will assign the flamethrower company to you. Since these bastards can't come out, we will use fire to burn them out."

    Over there, Yi Liangpin heard Tao Jingfei's order, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Commander, I would like to ask your permission to fight for an hour. I just received a report that the troops in front have now cleared out the only remaining Japanese troops."  Two 20mm anti-tank guns eliminated the threat posed by Japanese anti-tank guns to our tanks.

    "The tank assigned to me now can shoot close to the firing hole of the Japanese bunker. The 37 cannon on the tank cannot chew through the reinforced concrete outside, but it can penetrate from the firing hole and kill the Japanese and puppet troops inside.  If you give me another hour, I think it should be about the same."

    "If it doesn't work, I will use tanks to approach the cover and carry out close-range blasts. Commander, we have captured so many Japanese warehouses this time. I think there should be arms warehouses inside. If you ask people to search for them, there will definitely be artillery.  If we don¡¯t have powerful field artillery, even the Type 41 mountain artillery will do. Although the number of these Japanese and puppet troops is not large, they will still be a problem if they stay here. "

    Tao Jingfei pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally nodded: "I will give you one hour at the end. You must eliminate the last resistance of these Japanese and puppet troops. If it cannot be solved, leave some troops to watch over them. But there are two  The first thing you need to remember is not to cause too many casualties. This battle is just the beginning, and we don¡¯t know how cruel the rest will be.¡±

    "Secondly, these Japanese and puppet troops must not be allowed to escape. We must cleanly and completely eliminate these little devils and the puppet Manchukuo army who have been working for the tiger and are still stubborn. There are people everywhere here. Once the little devils get anxious, they can do anything.  Do it. We can¡¯t do what the Second Column did in Fangzheng, where the Japanese held our compatriots hostage and used them as human shields.¡±

    Over there, Yi Liangpin heard that Tao Jingfei agreed that he would fight for an hour. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Commander, I promise to complete the mission and eliminate this Japanese and puppet army cleanly and completely. I will never let the Fang Zheng incident happen again in Harbin."  Stage it and give the little devils a chance to use our compatriots as human shields.¡±

    Having said this, Yi Liangpin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, Commander, I don't have to do it all at once. It's just that in my opinion, this opportunity is very rare for us. According to the current development speed of the army and the progress of the war,  , It is very likely that we will face street fighting in the future. This is a rare opportunity for practical training, and I want to put several battalions of the 15th Regiment into it in turn. "

    Hearing Yi Liangpin's thoughts, Tao Jingfei pondered for a moment and then said: "Old Yi, I understand that opportunities for street fighting are rare. But you have to pay attention to the surrounding residential areas. I guess the Japanese must have known the news of the reinforcements. They are struggling to die.  "They may go to any lengths, especially if they have a lot of ammunition."

    "I'll have people check the captured Japanese warehouses to see if there are any artillery pieces. I'll send them to you as soon as possible. Lao Yi, follow the order. There are plenty of opportunities, but we can't do this in a place with a population of hundreds of thousands.  We can't afford to go on a killing spree in big cities. We must hurry up and resolve the battle. The Japanese army won't leave us much time to delay here."

    After listening to Tao Jingfei¡¯s suggestion, although he thought this was a rare opportunity, Yi Liangpin had no choice but to give up in the face of strict discipline.  At the same time, the troops of the 15th Regiment were gradually transferred back and marched to the designated locations to build fortifications according to the orders of the column.  On the other hand, a reinforced battalion was left to launch a final attack on the headquarters of the Japanese Second Independent Guards, with the cooperation of a company of tanks.

    Yi Liangpin over there entered the final attack. A main battalion of the 14th Regiment of the 5th Brigade and the 13th Regiment in Shuangcheng, as well as some tanks and cavalry units, also took the time to prepare for the attack.  It¡¯s just that one hour is too hurried, so hurried that I can¡¯t even prepareEven the crudest field fortifications were too late.

    It was too late to see the fortifications being built.  In desperation, He Zhishan, deputy commander of the fifth brigade, who was commanding the forward operations, remembered the Shentouling ambush battle fought by the Guannei troops under the noses of the Shanxi Japs that the brigade commander said.  Gritting their teeth, except for one company in each direction of the Sui family shack and Zhang Zheng shack on the east and west sides of the railway line as security forces.

    The rest of the troops deployed on the spot, and the two battalions requisitioned the houses on both sides of the railway line freight yard as temporary bunkers.  The troops were hidden in these Manchuria houses which were less than thirty meters away from the railway line and only twenty or thirty meters or even less than ten meters away.  In addition to seizing the opportunity to drill a large number of shooting holes on the side of the house facing the railway, all the windows were covered with sandbags and used as machine gun bunkers.

    As for the attached tank units, they are hidden in several large warehouses in the freight yard of Shuangcheng Railway Station.  The artillery on the tank and the installed large-caliber machine gun were aimed at the warehouse door, while the remaining troops were hidden in the roadside ditches at the two entrances and exits of the cargo yard, performing the role of pinching off the head and removing the tail.

    The regiment¡¯s mortar company, rapid-fire artillery company, infantry artillery company and anti-aircraft machine gun company are scattered and hidden in the houses on both sides of the railway line.  The two artillery staff officers divided the entire freight yard of Shuangcheng Station into firing areas for each artillery company as quickly as possible.  And strictly stipulated the shooting targets for several companies.  And his observation post is set up on the water tower next to the cargo yard.

    As for these houses, they are all the so-called Manchuria properties run by the Japanese, and he will not take them seriously.  However, in order to prevent the Japanese army from using railway tracks as bunkers to resist, he deployed more than a thousand anti-infantry mines on the platform, between the railway tracks, and on the roadbed on both sides of the railway tracks with the cooperation of the brigade engineering company.  An alternative model of all-round firepower strike network was formed.

    Although it has been decided to use the Manchurian houses on both sides of the railway line as temporary fortifications, it saves the most cumbersome things.  But when the long military column carrying the vanguard of the Japanese 25th Division drove into the Shuangcheng Station freight yard, it had only been less than five minutes since the mines were laid and the deployment of firepower and troops was completed.

    Looking at the long train of military trains that gradually came into his sight, the high-power steam locomotives made by Manchurian Railway under heavy pressure seemed a bit bulky.  He Zhishan, who was born as a railway worker and still knew very well how many people a freight train could carry per section, couldn't help but be surprised.

    Judging from the number of wagons pulled by this Japanese military column, the Japanese army is definitely not just an infantry brigade, but at least a reinforced brigade.  Although it was not yet clear how many Japanese troops there were, He Zhishan was certain that the number of Japanese troops transported on the Japanese military trains must have exceeded the information he had received.

    Although it can be seen that the number of Japanese troops on the military column exceeds the size of a large group, the distance between the enemy and ourselves is now so close that it is too late to adjust the deployment.  Gritting his teeth, He Zhishan made up his mind to fight according to the original plan no matter how many troops the Japanese army came, even if it was a regiment.

    Under the threat of gunpoint, the so-called Manchurian who served as the deputy director of the freight yard at Shuangcheng Station had no choice but to turn on the stop light.  Seeing the parking light on in the cargo yard, this long military column slowly stopped even though they didn't know the reason.

    Since the car was carrying a large number of Kwantung Army soldiers and other living ancestors, although the driver didn't know why the stop signal came on in front of him, it was better to stop for safety reasons.  Although it is very close to Shuangcheng Station, the only parking point on the way north to Harbin, it is only a few kilometers away.  But the driver stopped the train for safety reasons.

    This freight yard is a freight yard dedicated to the Kwantung Army. Even if there is an accident at Shuangcheng Station, it is still safe on the territory of the Kwantung Army.  So when the driver stopped, even though he had not yet arrived at the scheduled rest and rendezvous point, the captain of the 14th Regiment of the 25th Division, Colonel Gatachi Iwaji, did not care.

    In his opinion, since it¡¯s all about taking a break, then it¡¯s all about resting there.  There is not much difference between Shuangcheng Railway Station and the freight yard which is only one kilometer away from Shuangcheng Station.  And in his mind, this Kwantung Army-specific cargo yard is much safer than the train station where people come and go.

    It's a good idea to park here. It's also a good opportunity to get in touch with Lieutenant General Suzuki Teichi, the new division commander who succeeded Lieutenant General Shiro Kuwahara, who was dismissed after the defeat of the battle last autumn, and see if the Kwantung Army headquarters is still there.  There are no new instructions.

    In this era, there are no communication tools such as on-board phones on trains. If you want to get news during the operation, there is almost no communication method except stopping at the station.  The military's own radio station on the military column can only be set up when it is parked.

    Because the commander of the Kwantung ArmyIn view of the increasingly severe situation, Harbin was already at the forefront of the Anti-Alliance Forces and repeatedly urged the 25th Division to arrive in Harbin as soon as possible.  Therefore, after setting off from Xinjing, I did not make any stops or plan to make any stops at the stations I passed along the way, except for stopping at Taolaizhao Station for coal refueling and preparing to take a break at Shuangcheng Station.

    Having not received any news yet, Colonel Iwatachi Iwaji, who did not know that Harbin had been lost at this time, ordered to get in touch with the division headquarters as soon as he parked the car.  It's not that he thinks something will happen in Harbin, he is concerned about whether Harbin ahead is ready to receive the 25th Division.
