Chapter 143: Battle for Longjiang (1)

Qiqihar, in the Japanese army headquarters, Colonel Kuroki was calm and had lost contact in Longjiang City for a whole day.

He had been waiting for the result of the sending liaison officer. He stayed quietly in the headquarters alone, not even knowing that it was dark outside. The office was pitch black and he could no longer see his fingers.

Tat--

When the light was turned on, he was used to the dark eyes and could not bear the strong light of the light. Kuroki's left hand inadvertently covered his eyes, but his right hand held the hilt. This was his habit as a professional soldier.

"Masako--, why are you here?" Kuroki asked in surprise when he saw clearly that the person coming was his wife.

"Husband, it's already very late. Our family is waiting for you to go home for a meal. But I'm sorry," Masako is Kuroki's wife. She has the unique tenderness of a Japanese woman and is submissive. Everything is for her husband. With her outstanding appearance, the couple is also very loving.

Otherwise, Kuroki would not have brought his family from Japan to Northeast China. This is because he is the blessing of being a security force, not a field force.

Kuroki sighed, stood up and gave birth, holding Masako's shoulder. After sitting for a long time, his lower body was a little numb, and it was normal to walk a few steps. Just as Kuroki was about to walk out of the office, the phone suddenly rang on his desk.

Dingling--

The ringtone was very fast, and what was even more rapid was that Kuroki's heart was beating on his chest. After two steps, Kuroki rushed to the desk, picked up the phone and asked, "Moses Moses, I am Colonel Kuroki."

"Haha, it's not easy for you to be still in office so late!" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little sarcastic. When I heard it, no matter how easy it was to speak, a trace of anger would appear from the bottom of my heart.

Kuroki has been in the Northeast for many years and has fluent Chinese.

"Who are you?" Kuroki suppressed his anger and asked.

"Who am I, it doesn't matter. What's important is that the granary of Longjiang is in my hands. When I think of my brothers, I look at the piles of grain like mountains. I can't eat it for three years. I think again, it's a pity to cook it, so I want to make a deal with you and sell the grain to you. Hahaha..." The other end of the phone laughed wildly, and Kuroki's ears roared.

"Who are you?" Kuroki's face turned pale. He already knew that the phone call came from Longjiang. It can be foreseen that Longjiang County had been occupied by his opponent. In addition, the food that had just been collected around the western part of Qiqihar was also controlled by the other party.

This batch of grain can completely supply the grain of the two divisions of the Kwantung Army for a year. The amount is huge and there is absolutely no need to lose.

"Oh, the rude Japanese devils dare to hang up my phone. Brothers searched the guys and burned the food to me." Perhaps it was because of the discovery that Kuroki fell silent, and the other party was a little anxious.

"Your Excellency, stop your horse. Don't you know that these foods are military supplies of the Imperial Kwantung Army. If you anger the Kwantung Army, you will regret coming to this world." Kuroki spoke wildly, but he was still feeling guilty. After all, if he lost food, the head of the Kwantung Army Colonel's security commander would be in danger.

"Hehehe——, the Japanese are so funny... they dare to threaten me..." The other end of the phone seemed to be surrounded by a group of people, and even the laughter seemed unique. Why was it uncomfortable? How could it happen? Even the person who laughed had a hoarse voice. Obviously, this was a job of strength.

Kuroki looked back at his wife. He felt a deep sense of inferiority. When he came to the army, the most unbearable scene was seen by his beloved. He turned around and waved his hand to his wife. Masako was stunned. Seeing her husband's gesture of asking him to go back first, although she had a hundred problems in her heart, she still bowed and left the room.

Colonel Kuroki relaxed a little, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked in a deep voice: "I dare to ask who you are, what is the purpose of intercepting the Kanto Army's granary?"

"Purpose? Yes, of course. Longjiang was my territory back then. I went around the world over the years, but when I came home, I found that there was a 'menstrual flag' on the top of the city, which made me angry. Let's calculate the interest for the past few years with you. As for the hundreds of Japanese devils in Longjiang, don't worry about it. It's time for me to slaughter them and throw them into the river to feed the fish..."

The other party talked a lot in a vague way, as if he was enjoying this way of telephone chat. Even enemies with deep hatred could greet each other's ancestors on the phone, and there was no need to worry about fighting.

"Baga--" Bang, Kuroki threw the phone aside, he heard what the other party wanted. Apart from blackmail and entertainment, Kuroki would never tolerate it, a bandit's contempt.

I thought that these foods could really yoke him. In addition, after the Japanese army stationed in Longjiang was destroyed, the opponent would become the target of the Kwantung Army's suppression, and there was nothing to talk about.

Moreover, from the conversation, Colonel Kuroki learned that his opponent was a group of bandits. There were 1,000 people?

It is very likely that it is fake. Bandits like to falsely report their number. According to common sense, Kuroki inferred that the number of bandits is about 500.

In the northeast, when the scourges the mountain and becomes king everywhere, they are slogans of robbing the rich and helping the poor. In fact, there are people who do business. As long as they have guns in their hands, they are the master. This sentence has become the most wise saying of all bandits.

Even Zhang Zuolin, who had been in control of the Northeast for 20 years, was just a small bandit at that time. If he had not seized the opportunity, donated an official position, and recruited many bandits around him, they would have gradually grown stronger.

Zhang Zuolin, the Grand Marshal?

That was all about Chen Guzi and rotten sesame seeds, and they all heard it. Well, I said that during the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, not all regular troops were born, and many of them were also heroes who occupied the mountains and became kings. When the Japanese came and bullied their brothers and elders, they fought with the Japanese.

Colonel Kuroki is not unfamiliar with bandits. In fact, one of his pseudo-legion commanders was born.

The troops he was recruited at the beginning were still scattered. Although the military discipline was dispersed, as long as he heard that there was a war and something to rob, the second-rate troops could play a first-class level. Of course, this comparison was among the puppet troops and in the eyes of the Japanese, even the worst military police force was better than the puppet troops.

Colonel Kuroki was not worried because the other party was a bandit, and they were all a group of blood-sucking lazy men. They would never let such a good opportunity go, and would definitely blackmail him. Of course, Longjiang's grain warehouse is also very important to Kuroki.

During the Qing Dynasty, Longjiang was a major defense center in the north, with heavy troops stationed in the city. The city walls were made of stone and were very strong. They were an important fortress for the Northeast region to defend against Russia.

If you want to break through Longjiang City, you will be unable to do it if there are fewer troops.

But the other party was a bandit, Kuroki gradually felt relieved, but he was a little worried that when he led his troops to encircle this bandit, would these guys burn all their food before they perish?

Kuroki, who was full of confidence, was not in a hurry at this time. He sat leisurely in the headquarters and asked his subordinates to bring two cans and a pot of wine. He relaxed his expression and started drinking in the headquarters. Kuroki seemed to guess that the other party would be unwilling to give up, and then contacted him again.

At this time, on the other end of the phone, Zhang Jihai, who had just occupied Longjiang City, brought a group of battalion officers to the Japanese Qiqihar police commander and Kuroki Kuroki. He heard that Kuroki knew Chinese, Zhang Jihai called the Japanese headquarters without thinking. Unexpectedly, he could get through as soon as he called. However, after saying a few words, Kuroki, the kid, was not aware of the fun and threw the phone.

It doesn't matter if Kuroki dropped the phone, but Zhang Jihai, who was about to bargain with Kuroki, was stunned. He turned around and looked at his subordinates around him, and smiled embarrassedly: "The Japanese are small and very angry. But don't worry, I'll be sure of this Colonel Kuroki."

"Battery Commander, stop talking. You are doing too much. You were kidnapped, but in the ears of the miser, you have been preparing to tear the tickets long ago, so why should you give them ransom? Just report to the official." The chief Gao Cheng, holding a big bowl of sea, thrust his last bite of soup into his stomach, smeared his mouth, and said with a heart: "I see, when the food is distributed to the common people, send the old, weak, women and children out of the city, and walk dozens of miles westward into the mountains. Now there are big trucks in the city, put the food on, and each family brings a year's food, and then a fire burns the broken county town. Are you still afraid that Hei Mu won't fight you for the death?"

"You are stunned, but you don't believe it. Look at your bad idea." Zhang Jihai pointed at Gaocheng with one hand and said in a pity: "If the grain is burned, Heimu will report to the Heilongjiang Office. At that time, will the Kwantung Army still fight us? Not to mention our camp, even the column is enough to drink a pot."

Instructor Zhou Li interrupted, "Old Zhang's idea is right. Think about it, the military strength of the Qiqihar Security Command is now only 2,000 people, but what about the Heilongjiang Office? There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 people? For us, we have taken the initiative to solve the problem in Qiqihar. Once the war develops to the entire Heilongjiang province, we will be passive."

"Gaocheng, you can't be more at ease. If you don't have that brain, why do you have to pay for those brain cells?"

"Ha ha--"

Gao Cheng's old face turned red and said unconvincedly: "I don't have a common language with you, a strategy, do you understand, what's the name of this trick?"

Gao Cheng tilted his head, thought for a while, then slapped his thigh and said loudly: "This trick is called pumping firewood at the bottom of the pot. Think about it, if you don't even light the torch, why are you still pumping firewood?"

"Hide and go there without any side. What idioms are you saying just that knowledge?"

The commanders of the Third Battalion laughed in a ball.

The battle between Longjiang City was indeed very difficult for the Japanese army in Qicheng. This inconspicuous small city, backed by mountains and communicated with plains, headed north to Daxinganling, and headed south to Fengtian City, the center of the entire puppet Manchukuo. In addition, the rich products, especially the grain-producing area, is of great significance to the entire Kwantung Army.

After learning from the lesson, Zhang Jihai tried to dial the phone again, and thankfully, the phone went through quickly.

With the first lesson, Zhang Jihai's conversation was obviously much more sincere, and he soon went around to the place where he bargained with Kuroki. Zhang Jihai insisted on asking for a battalion equipment, and even cheated Kuroki for ammunition.

However, this was a verbal agreement. What surprised Zhang Jihai was that Kuroki agreed to his request and prepared to come to the city to deliver the goods tomorrow afternoon.

Of course, Zhang Jihai could not agree. In just half a day, Longjiang City, which had only a few thousand people in total, arrested more than a hundred people, all of whom were small people in the investigation and arrest of Manchukuo and some Japanese expatriates. If they saw the Japanese men entering the city, these spies who found their backbone would be blown up immediately.

Therefore, Zhang Jihai, this group of kung fu has completely emptied the entire county town. At least, there are fewer and fewer people who can stay. Zhang Jihai did not save the Japanese supplies in the county town, and gave them all the people who can send or send them.

"Battery Commander, you are not a business deal at all. It's such a big deal. Not only did you almost ruin it, but you finally sold it to a low price." The second company commander Fu Dong said a pity.

The equipment of a battalion was finally squeezed into a reinforced platoon by the Japanese devils. They used these dozen broken guns to exchange for a county town and killed the Japanese devils.

This is also impossible. It is estimated that the Japanese spies in Longjiang City have arrived at Kuroki's headquarters. Kuroki also thought through the third battalion that sneaked into Longjiang. As for why he did not agree to Zhang Jihai's request at once, he felt that it was too easy to agree and would arouse Zhang Jihai's suspicion.

In fact, none of the two negotiations took the transaction seriously. Does Zhang Jihai lack weapons?

He was in trouble just the weapons seized, so give them to the local people! Without weapons, these people can survive. Once they have guns in their hands, few of them can survive the Japanese's siege.

There were about 300 rifles piled up in the warehouse. Even though he knew that the war was about to go, Zhang Jihai did not intend to recruit soldiers on the spot, so that the people who had never fought a big war would go to the battlefield.

The soldiers of the third battalion seized the time to rest. The battalion headquarters had issued an order to defend the city wall in sections. Although Longjiang was not big, there were only 400 people in one battalion, which was not enough to set up positions outside the city. They could only rely on the city wall to block the enemy.

"Battery Commander, the regiment headquarters urgently called."

read--

"At 9 o'clock this morning, a large group of Japanese troops passed through the railway bridge, and no less than one thousand puppet troops, the target was your troops Longjiang County. The Japanese troops were equipped with cars, and the puppet troops were all on foot."

"Ask the regiment headquarters when will the Japanese army cut off their retreat and blow up the railway bridge?" Zhang Jihai immediately exclaimed after receiving the information.

In terms of the current situation, all the Japanese in Heilongjiang have a total of less than 30,000, and more than half of them are in the east to defend the border. However, so many Japanese people have arrived at once, Zhang Jihai also plans to give up Longjiang County and instead prepare to lead the Japanese to the west mountain, ambush and guerrillas.

Otherwise, if the Japanese equipped the field artillery, the four or five hundred people from the Third Battalion would not be able to defend the county town.

Soon, the call from the regiment headquarters came over.

It turned out that Zheng Xingguo, the commander of the new 5th Regiment, was worried and had ordered the first battalion to reinforce the third battalion.
