Chapter 71 The blood-stained line of communication
In order to protect one's face, from the 63rd Regiment to the 10th Division, and then to the 12th Army Command, they all chose to believe the lies of Ayumi Hamasaki and Shimada. The 12th Army Command sent a special person to escort two Japanese journalists to the 63rd Regiment, interviewed Ayumi Hamasaki and Shimada, took photos of them, and wrote an exclusive interview. Then, an article titled "The Glory of the Great Japanese Army" was first published in the "New Shandong Daily" with a Japanese background, with the subtitle "The Great Victory of the Bandit Suppression of the Peach Blossom Mountains in Southern Shandong".
In the article, it is said that under the leadership of Ayumi Hamasaki and Shimada, the 63rd Regiment directly defeated the Turin anti-Japanese armed forces who dared to provoke the Great Japanese Imperial Army in the Momohua Mountains. Two hundred brave Imperial soldiers fought against more than 1,500 anti-Japanese armed forces. At a small price, they wiped out nearly a thousand enemies and achieved a brilliant victory.
This article was written under the guidance of Yoshihiro Hamada, and there is a lot of knowledge here. First of all, the number of anti-Japanese soldiers is large, and even if the Imperial Army suffers a small loss, it is inevitable. Annihilation of nearly a thousand enemies means leaving room for room. Even after this battle, there are still anti-Japanese armed forces in Taohua Mountains. This can also be explained by the remaining anti-Japanese armed forces.
The second half of the article accused the newspapers in the rear of the post in a sarcasm for spreading rumors and slander, and forging the true situation of the battle in Taohua Mountain.
On one side of this article, a photo of Hamasaki Ayumi and Shimada with a triumphant smile were also published.
The 12th coalition command put in a lot of effort. Almost as the North China Public Security News published this article, it provided the news to other newspapers that could be controlled. Soon all newspapers in the occupied areas were reprinted, and some pro-Japanese foreign media also reprinted it.
The Japanese's move really played a certain role. Many people who did not know the truth had doubts about the news that the Taohuashan guerrillas annihilated the Japanese army in the newspapers in the rear.
The Japanese and puppet parties deliberately spread rumors, accusing the Taohuashan guerrillas of being false news. For a moment, there were many people in the rear who were unknown to the truth, and they doubted the achievements of the Taohuashan guerrillas reported by Xinhua Daily. This incident played a negative role in the morale of the anti-Japanese military and civilians.
Under the reports of some foreign media, and the Japanese army has always been famous for its strong combat effectiveness. The news that Taohua Mountain annihilated the Japanese army reported by the "xunhua Daily" has also been questioned internationally and has had a very bad impact.
The political department of the government specially sent someone to remind Xinhua Daily that it should pay attention to the rigor of the content of the report. In other words, it is not to make false news that the content of the report is not true.
Xinhua Daily has always been known for adhering to the authenticity and rigor of news. Just when everyone was expecting Xinhua Daily to counterattack against Japanese and puppet newspapers, it was depressing that Xinhua Daily did not make any movement for two days.
In fact, the Xinhua Daily is waiting for a news or a piece of evidence. This piece of evidence is a photo of the real situation of the annihilation of the Japanese army taken by Gao Han, as well as the Japanese roster and the ID card of the annihilated Japanese army.
The content reported in the previous report of Xinhua Daily was sent to the Eighth Route Army Office in the form of a telegram by the underground party. The underground party is trying to send these relevant evidence to Wuhan.
At this moment, the underground party trafficker was on his way to Wuhan.
Early that morning, the officers and soldiers stationed in Tengxian National Army were staring at the north as vigilantly in the long winding trenches, where the Japanese army was about to attack.
Suddenly, gunfire sounded in front of him, and the officers and soldiers immediately entered the position, set up machine guns, picked up rifles, and prepared for combat.
Not long after, a battalion commander of the National Army saw a man in plain clothes running towards him from a telescope. Behind him, many people holding guns were chasing him.
The distance was closer, and the people behind gradually saw clearly that they were a group of Japanese devils.
The battalion commander of the Kuomintang immediately realized that it was the Japanese devils chasing our personnel. He immediately ordered the escapees to be let go of the people in front and prepare to block the Japanese devils behind.
The people who escaped in front were getting closer and closer to the trench. The Japanese devils were very arrogant. They knew the location of the trench of the National Army and actually chased after them without any hesitation.
Seeing the man who was escaping, only a few dozen meters away from the war trench of the Kuomintang, the Japanese shot at him.
The Japanese's shooting skills were very accurate. Even when they were running, the bullet was almost ten away from the target. One bullet hit the leg of the escaped man and he fell to the ground.
The Japanese howled and chased after them, less than 100 meters away from the trenches of the National Army.
At the command of the battalion commander, fire snakes spurted out from the positions of the national army.
The Japanese soldiers were attacked, and several Japanese were hit and fell down. The other Japanese did not stop chasing. They crawled forward, or used the terrain to leap forward, and continued to approach the fallen man. Obviously, the identity of the escaped man was very important, and the Japanese were bound to win him.
The battalion commander of the Kuomintang army also realized the seriousness of the problem. He immediately ordered a platoon of Kuomintang soldiers to rush out of the trenches in the enemy's rain of bullets to rescue the person who was injured.
The soldiers of the National Army rushed out of the trench and, despite the fierce firepower of the enemy, rushed to the injured man, helped him up and returned to the trench. The war was so cruel that in this short process, six National Army soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country.
The one who was rescued back to the trenches was a young man in his 20s who looked like a teacher in an elementary school. As soon as he saw the battalion commander of the Kuomintang, he hurriedly said: "Hurry! Take me to meet your commander. I have important information and need to report it."
Although the battalion commander suspected the identity of the young man, he heard that he knew that his level was not enough, so he stopped inquiring and immediately sent someone to bandage the wound for the man and sent someone to send him to the regiment headquarters.
The commander of the National Army was unable to verify the identity of this person, but when he saw what he brought, he immediately believed him and sent someone to send him to the division headquarters.
After arriving at the division headquarters, the division commander saw that he was seriously injured and said that he would perform surgery on him to take out the bullets, saying that he could transfer the materials he brought to his superiors. However, the visitor refused and insisted on sending the things he brought to Wuhan. Seeing that he insisted on doing this, the division commander admired the man's toughness very much. He immediately sent someone to send him to Wuhan, and sent a doctor and a nurse to accompany him to rescue him.
Wuhan.
The relevant materials on the real situation of the Taohua Mountain battle were finally sent to the Eighth Route Army Office. The underground party traffic officer was rushed to the hospital.
The doctor regretfully told him that due to delayed treatment time, the leg had to be amputated.
The traffic officer of the underground party did not feel regretful. He was proud and proud of his outstanding completion of the task. The War of Resistance Against Japan was a great era. Countless people of lofty ideals, in order to defend their country and defend the dignity of the nation, sacrificed their lives and wrote songs of bloody battles with their lives.
