Chapter 75 Who is the Oriole (1)
August 18th, night. Liaoning. Dandong.
The Japanese army's artillery preparations for the Chinese army's river defense in the Dandong front line lasted for a whole day.
The Japanese shallow water gunboats, the Russian Pacific Second Fleet warships and cruisers, various types of inland gunboats, and the artillery cluster of the Japanese First Army, which was strengthened by heavy artillery and field artillery in the rear of the Japanese front, carried out unprecedented fierce artillery attacks on the Chinese army's river defense positions.
Almost all fortifications on the frontier positions of the Chinese army were destroyed, telephone contact was interrupted, and casualties were unknown. The shore defense fortress arranged by the Chinese army near Donggang to block the entrance of the Yalu River was severely damaged by the Japanese siege mortar artillery. The Japanese shallow water gunboats and inland gunboats went upstream to bombard the Chinese army's river defense positions.
The reinforcement route behind the Chinese position was continuously blocked by Japanese and Russian long-range artillery, and all efforts to reinforce were declared unsuccessful. The four battalions of the 26th National Defense Division of the 12th National Defense Division of the 12th National Defense Division of the 12th National Defense Division were almost isolated in the first line of defense with a depth of three kilometers. The reserves of the divisions were desperately trying to transport troops and ammunition, but in the face of the opponent's airtight firepower, they had to stop after paying a heavy price and asked for help from the rear. The 5th Division of the 12th National Defense Division quickly drew an infantry regiment, strengthened the firepower, and advanced towards the 26th Division of the southern line.
After nightfall, the Chinese army used the cover of night to start mobilizing troops from the rear to reinforce. But at this time, the general attack of the Japanese army had already begun. The Japanese assault echelon used various ships to launch a forced crossing at six river crossing points. At the same time, some Japanese Marines landed from the Huangjinping area at the mouth of the sea and surrounded the Dandong Coast Defensive Army from the side and back.
The Japanese army was stubbornly resisted by the remnants of the Chinese army on the devastated front line of the Chinese army. On this battlefield, the so-called heroic deeds have become commonplace. Both sides of the hostile sides fought to the death with the greatest patriotism and courage. The 44th Regiment of the 11th Shantongji Division, known for its tenacity, was almost completely destroyed on the position. In the end, the captain of the regiment Yukiyoshi Yoshikawa was also suddenly jumped up and hugged by a Chinese soldier hiding in a pile of corpses, and died together under the explosion of a grenade.
The most elite second division of the Japanese army made significant progress, occupying a beachhead position of 600 meters wide and 400 meters deep on the northern line, but they immediately encountered the infantry and search battalion of the Fifth Chinese Defense Division who came by truck. Under the fierce counterattack of the other side, these samurai, who were famous for their night battles and calmness, did not panic, and launched a close-killing desperate battle.
The entire Huajunjiang defense position was shaken.
The call for help has already made the 11th Army, the Seventh Army and the entire Northeast Front in a hurry. Although there was a plan, when things really happened, they realized that the Japanese's crazy bets were still far beyond their expectations.
Qiqihar. Northern Front Command.
Although the battle in Heilongjiang was unprecedentedly fierce, Dandong, thousands of miles away, undoubtedly became the most discussed topic of the Front Command on this night.
"Kando Notsu of the Third Army of the Japanese Manchu Army is a general known for attack. Chief of Staff Kojiro Uchiyama is an artillery expert. The 3rd Division and the 4th Division below are not ordinary people. Now they have strengthened the Second Division, as well as some of the Japanese Marines' forces, as well as specially strengthened artillery and maritime support. The Japanese's main attack direction has been clear." Chief of Staff Geng Yifei pointed on the map, "The target of the enemy fleet and landing regiment can only be Dandong or Yingkou. However, in Dandong, both the enemy and us have invested heavy troops and heavy artillery, and Lin Li has been given heavy artillery in Dandong.
, Too many troops were accumulated on the narrow front, which would only lead to higher killing efficiency of our artillery fire. The direction of the Gushan Mountain, our army had strict defense and had a coastal defense fortress, and the enemy could only land on small boats. On the contrary, there was only one regiment of the 28th Division in Yingkou. As long as they occupied this place and advanced east-west army in Dandong, they could cut off our Liaodong Peninsula, then attack Fengtian, and cut off the lifeline of our Northeast and inside and outside the pass. This is very logical in military science. The attacks they launched in Dandong now also have the purpose of attracting our attention and dispersing our reserve forces."
Geng Yifei and Zeng Qimeng looked at each other and nodded.
Liaoning, the northeast corner of the Bohai Bay, Yingkou.
Yingkou Port is a civil port. Due to the development of the Northeast in recent years, Yingkou has connected railways. Northeast products are shipped from here and directly taken to Tianjin or Yantai to land. Many of the materials in the pass are also transported from Yingkou to Liaoning and even the Northeast by sea.
A storm and rain.
Above the coast, in a shed to shelter, several people wearing military ponchos were silently looking into the distance. The lights flashed in the woods in the distance. The sharp-eyed immediately whispered: "Battle, signal"
Zhang Jinghui looked at it intently and saw that there were two long and one short and three long. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Send a signal"
An officer next to him lifted up the lantern, kept covering it with a cover, and then removed it. Soon, in the woods opposite, a dark figure that could not be seen clearly shook and ran here quickly.
The first person is his cousin.
Zhang Jinghui almost couldn't recognize her.
I saw that the Prince Cheng’s mansion, Beile, was wearing a national defense army uniform, a Chinese-style raincoat poncho, with a white towel wrapped around his left arm, an armed belt, a large horse boot, and a lieutenant colonel logo. He looked particularly energetic.
"We are under the orders of the division headquarters to strengthen coastal defense." The cousin's expression was serious and serious, "Thank you for your hard work, Battalion Commander Zhang."
Zhang Jinghui smiled bitterly: "Okay, cousin, here are all his brothers, there is nothing to be seen. What are these positions?"
"We are all good men of our Qing Dynasty Imperial Guards and elite soldiers who have been practicing hard in Japan. Many of them lurked here two years ago." My cousin said proudly, "I brought 300 people. There are also 200 people who are patriots of the Great Japanese Empire's Asian Association. They are all Japanese brothers who are determined to support Japan and Manchu and coexist and prosper in Great East Asia."
Zhang Jinghui looked at the children of the Qing Dynasty bannermen with serious faces, and then at the silent, short and very different temperaments beside her. Although both groups of people were wearing the uniforms of the National Defense Forces, they always felt that the small people looked more like a group of wolves, and the so-called Qing Dynasty Imperial Guards looked more like a group of dogs.
Zhang Jinghui bowed: "Happy to meet"
"The key is the coastal defense fort." The cousin said anxiously, "Jing Hui, why is Commander Zhang not here?"
"My fifth brother is a fine person." Zhang Jinghui shook his head, "Cousin, I can't believe you. The key is who can decide this matter? We must see the true Buddha, right? That Kishimoto Suk, I don't think he is a famous person. He just sold his life in such an unknown way. When the Imperial Army comes and refuses to admit it, we will be shameless inside and outside, why is the reason?"
"I am your cousin." The cousin stomped his feet in an anxious mood, "I am the Master of Beile of the Qing Dynasty, my father is the former Prince of Iron Hats, my brother is the current Prince Cheng Jinghui. Your cousin, I spit and throw eight-petal man, can you fool you?"
"Cousin, we all know in our hearts that the Japanese are the ones who have the final say in this matter." Zhang Jinghui shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe you. It's because this matter is too big. We brothers don't dare to sell ourselves casually."
"Are you threatening men?" My cousin was anxious and roared in a low voice, "Send us to this, do you want to change your mind? The surname Zhang, you are cruel, you are good men..."
"Zaiyuanjun, leave this matter to me." A low and powerful voice sounded, and a man of medium figure walked out of the short crowd. His expression was calm, but his pair of triangular eyes flashed with sharp light, which made people involuntarily think of the lone wolf in the night.
"Zhang Jun, I am the person in charge of this operation in Japan." The visitor bowed deeply, "If you have any requirements, even if you ask me, I think I can basically make the decision."
Zhang Jinghui looked at her eyes slanted for a while, then bowed: "What do you call this master?"
"I have a little fame in Japan. I wonder if you have heard of it." The visitor smiled slightly and looked gloomy. "I'm in Xiatou Mountain. Tian is a senior consultant of Xingya Association, a first-class senator of the Qing Dynasty Military Consultant Office, and a state advisor to His Majesty Zaifeng, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and was awarded the title of first-rank admiral, Batulu Yong's title, and a yellow jacket."
"Are you Toushan... Toushan full?" Zhang Jinghui was shocked when she heard this and looked up and down at the person coming.
"It's me. I have been entrusted by the General Staff of the Great Japanese Empire, His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Military Affairs Office. I will ask me if I have any requests." Tooshanman smiled slightly, "Zhang Jun, you are a smart person. When you have this step, you can no longer look back."
Zhang Jinghui's face changed.
"I know, there is an old Chinese saying that you ask for a price all over the world and pay it back." Toushanman said calmly, "Let's offer it, as long as I'm within the scope of my authority, everything is easy to say."
Zhang Jinghui stared at him for a while and nodded in a bachelor's head: "I like to deal with a good man like Mr. Toushan. We don't ask for anything else. We ask for four things: First, we brothers are not involved in your fight against the Chinese. In addition, even if the people in our army are not involved in our affairs, as long as they are not stubborn to the end, no one will be hurt. In the future, they will voluntarily follow them. Those who want to go home and keep them, and those who want to keep them, and they will not be forced. Second, those who are involved in this matter today are counted as one. Each of the big head soldiers is 500 Mexican Yingyang, one thousand non-commissioned officers, and two thousand officers are about to discover. This is a matter of scavenging the house and destroying the nine clans and having a son. If there is no price, we will split up."
"Third, we six brothers and our confidants have seen through it. In this world, if there is no soldier, you will be able to get the surviving Qing Dynasty. We will give us a town with two associations and four standards. All the latest Japanese or Russian equipment is full, and the staff will arrange for us to take the initiative to operate this acre of three-point land. We will follow the order and not listen to the fourth... We have not yet thought about it yet, let me tell you if I think about it later."
Toushan looked at Zhang Jinghui with fun, but didn't say anything for a while. Zhang Jinghui gradually couldn't bear it and said with a stern look on his face: "What, Mr. Toushan, don't want it? If I don't want me to turn around and leave."
Toushanman smiled and said, "Zhang Jun is quick and easy. It's true that he is a hero in the military. I admire these conditions. I promise you. I can speak well, whether in Japan or in the Qing Dynasty. What's more, there are a few such heroes, and we are just looking for them."
He speaks Chinese in Beijing. If he doesn't know his identity, he will definitely regard this as a family figure from the capital.
"The Qing Dynasty restored the country, and the heroes from all walks of life are at a time of great success. Zhang Jun, you are very conscious of the current affairs and very well-known in planning. I admire you... Okay, we will be the same palace in the future. Zhang Jun, I think a cooperative regime is bound to be your future Qing Dynasty. If you guys step on it, it will be trembling."
Without saying a word, Zhang Jinghui took out a piece of paper that was stacked in square shape from his arms, and opened it was two agreements. Seeing that his cousin was a little puzzled, he whispered: "It's no basis for speaking, you can feel at ease with white and black words."
Toushan Man was stunned, then smiled, took out a pen and signed the name. Zhang Jinghui put it away carefully, nodded: "It has become Mr. Toushan, and he is entrusted by someone to be loyal to others. Come and go to the fort."
The two reached out and held each other hard, smiling with great sincerity.
At this time, I saw Toushanman turning around, saying a few words of Japanese to the person behind me, and nodding alone.
Zhang Jinghui was stunned: "Toushanjun, you are..."
But Toutanman bowed deeply to him, and Zhang Jinghui was even more confused.
"Zhang Jun, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others." Toushanman sighed, "But there is no problem now."
Zhang Jinghui heard a rustling footsteps and looked up, but saw that there were dark people walking out of the woods.
"These are all patriots from the Qing Dynasty Imperial Guards and our Xingyao Association, five hundred heroes. Now, follow Zhang Jun to do something." Toushanman said with a smile, "Don't delay, the night is long and the dreams are too long, let's go."
Zhang Jinghui couldn't help swallowing when she looked at the smiling Japanese spy.
The coastal defense fortress belongs to the coastal defense battalion and has no affiliation with the 28th Division. Zhang Jinghui led the group of people to the forest less than two kilometers of the coastal defense fortress, arranged for them to stop, and whispered to Toushanman: "Mr. Toushan, my fifth brother Zhang Zuolin has hung up the phone with the coastal defense battalion and asked their battalion commander to go to our regiment headquarters for a meeting and put him under house arrest. At this time, you should succeed. Now you bring ten people to me and I will send you the letter of introduction, and I will say it is the liaison officer of our regiment. At that time, I will call the regiment headquarters and say a code word, and they will hang up the phone and send more infantry to strengthen the protection of the turret, and then take it down naturally... By the way, when will the fleet arrive?"
"It's ten o'clock in the evening. According to the time, there is still an hour to go to the outer sea. When we use searchlights to signal on the fort, we will send a traffic boat to carry the Marine Corps." Toushanman took out his pocket watch and looked at Zhang Jinghui, "Zhang Jun, I think your method is still not comprehensive enough."
Zhang Jinghui was stunned.
"It's too slow. We don't have that much time and there are too many variables." Toushanman narrowed his eyes, "I'll bring fifty people over, and you'll say we are military policemen in the military headquarters to arrest the enemy spy. I've already taken the order. Even if there is any problem, you are still there..."
Zhang Jinghui's face suddenly turned red, and she wanted to say something, but Toushanman just stared at him quietly. Finally, Zhang Jinghui breathed out and nodded vigorously: "Okay, let it go."
Toutanman smiled and waved his hand, and dozens of insane men dressed in military police behind him stood up.
"Mr. Toushan is indeed ready and admire him." Zhang Jinghui said with a slight smile, "It seems that as long as Mr. Toushan is following the leader, there will be no mistakes in this matter."
"Zhuge was cautious all his life." Toushanman smiled slightly, "Zhang Jun, lead the way."
"please"
"please"
Toushanman turned around and whispered a few words to a deputy, followed Zhang Jinghui and the other two, leading the Japanese spies dressed in fifty military policemen to the coastal defense fortress.
I don’t know if it was a group of dragons without a leader or something, but after Toutanman and others performed, Zhang Jinghui shouted, and the sentries along the way had no idea. These people actually entered the coastal defense fortress. Toutanman and Zhang Jinghui swaggered and entered the coastal defense fortress, all the way to the headquarters compound. Zhang Jinghui whispered: “I’ll go in first to stabilize them, and you can rush in when I call you.”
Toushanman nodded seriously.
Zhang Jinghui led two officers to push the door and into the main entrance of the headquarters and went upstairs.
It was silent for half a day.
Toushanman gradually became a little anxious. He was about to wait for someone to break in, but he saw a green signal flare flying up, followed by two more yellow signal flares.
"It's broken." Toutanman's heart was cold at this moment, and he shouted out loud, "Get out quickly after being trapped."
Just like rehearsing, as soon as his lines came out, the windows on the second and third floors of the yard were pushed open, hundreds of fully armed soldiers pointed the black muzzle at Toushanman and others, and fired without saying a word, grenades fell down like hail, and several light machine guns sealed the exit tightly.
At the same time, dense explosions came from the direction of the forest where the spy's main force lurked.
Toutanman has no time to consider these issues.
The dense rain of bullets beat his entire body beyond recognition. This Japanese spy giant, who had been in the East Asia for decades, founded Xuanyang Society and launched the Black Dragon Association behind the scenes, causing East Asia to be scared, died in the compound of Yingkou Haidang Fortress Headquarters.
Die with your eyes open.
After a while, a group of people went down the stairs and checked the bodies one by one. Some of them were immortal. They immediately dragged them away to see if they could not leave a living mouth for confession.
Zhang Jinghui came to Toushanman's body and spat viciously: "Mom, I want to take it by making a few piles of opium? Let me be a traitor? If he really sells his ancestors, is he still a person?"
A strong captain next to him stabbed him: "Third brother, who is this?"
Zhang Jinghui smiled and said, "Lao Liu, we have made great contributions today. This guy is the Japanese devils' head full of mountains."
Zhang Zuoxiang, deputy battalion commander of the Third Battalion "Toushanman", changed his face, "Third Brother, you have made great contributions now."
"After the credit, our brothers will take it together." Zhang Jinghui smiled, "Lao Liu, we are fighting comfortably in this battle. We can still make contributions while staying behind. The Japanese will come here later and see how I hit them with your brother."
Zhang Zuo smiled and said nothing...
