Age of Rebirth

Han Tie, the commander of the Marine Corps who entered Zhuanghe County on the Liaodong Peninsula, felt that after the recovery of the entire Zhuanghe County, the county was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror, and people were in panic. A large number of residents fled, and some local hooligans and die-hard Japanese residents took the opportunity to disrupt and sabotage, and Zhuanghe County was in chaos immediately. Although the result could not be changed, it would hinder the pace of our own troops.

But the most important order he issued, the two brigade commanders who followed were full of reluctance, they all wanted to go to the front to fight, and who would manage the rear, Han Tie was very angry, seeing the commander's eyebrows raised , Jiang Xianliang hurriedly said: "Commander, Brigadier Huang and I are here, and you didn't designate that brigade to take out troops to take on the garrison mission!"

Han Tie was taken aback. He was indeed confused, but he couldn't admit it in front of his subordinates, so he shouted loudly: "Do you need me to elaborate? Of course you, Huang Wanshan, pulled out the troops, and the fourth brigade served as the guard. That's what you do!"

Huang Wanshan grinned, but he didn't dare to argue, because the fourth brigade suffered heavy casualties, which caused the commander to be warned and withhold allowances. It also seems insufficient. If it was in the past, it would be necessary to argue a few words. The Fourth Brigade is the main force of the majestic, how can it do the work of these second-line troops, but now it has to do it!

Huang Wanshan reluctantly agreed, and whispered a few words to Colonel Li Jialiang, the chief of staff, and Li Jialiang immediately went to make arrangements.

After walking on the street for a while, Han Tie saw that all the better houses on Zhuanghe Street were Japanese.I couldn't help but feel angry, "Jiang Xianliang, as I said just now, all the Japanese in Zhuanghe County will be detained and supervised and managed in a unified way. You can start to deal with it immediately. Don't be soft-hearted. Maybe there are some Manchurians among them." Human bombs like those of the Volunteer Team, if they encounter resistance or do not follow orders, they will be killed on the spot! When confiscating the property of the little devil, it must be clean and thorough, it is the hard-earned money of the people in the Northeast!" He emphasized to Jiang Xianliang.

Jiang Xianliang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Commander, the Japanese in Zhuanghe County don't need to be detained, they are all dead!"

"What?" Han Tie exclaimed in surprise.Turn around suddenly.He stared at Jiang Xianliang with piercing eyes. Although he hated the Japanese deeply, killing all these bastards on the battlefield would not be enough, of course.I also don't like the Japanese who migrated to the Northeast, because what I saw along the way, these Japanese are all accomplices of the Kwantung Army.Or it can be defined as the aggressors, those human bombs of the Manchuria volunteers are enough to illustrate this point.

However, for the Japanese in Zhuanghe County who did not appear on the battlefield, if they ordered the massacre, Han Tie admitted that he would not be able to do this. He thought that Jiang Fangliang ordered the troops to do it. For a long time, the old rule of the independent division is not to keep little devils as prisoners. I am afraid that this habit and emotion will be brought to Zhuanghe. Of course, if Jiang Xianliang really did this, Han Tie would not punish him severely. It's just that I feel uncomfortable!

When Jiang Xianliang saw the commander's eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood, thinking that he had ordered the massacre of the city, and hurriedly explained: "Commander, the Japanese are all dead, it's not my order, the troops attacked the county. At that time, I received a report that all the Japanese died at home!"

"Huh?" Han Tie still looked at Jiang Xianliang suspiciously, Jiang Xianliang yelled wronged, "Heaven and earth conscience! Commander, I, Jiang Xianliang, really hate little devils. On the battlefield, no matter how I kill them, I can't forgive them. But I can't do it!"

Han Tie pondered. He believed Jiang Xianliang's words. When he looked up, there was a Japanese house in front of him. It was a two-story small building. A large group of officers came over, either generals or school officers, and hurriedly saluted.

After Jiang Xianliang let it go on purpose, he asked the two sentries in a low voice, "That regiment? No one broke in?"

One of the sentries replied solemnly: "Report to the brigade commander, He Jinshan, the squad leader of the first regiment, third battalion and first company, is on guard duty. During this period, no one broke in!" Jiang Xianliang breathed a sigh of relief, he was also afraid, Some soldiers came in to vent their personal anger.

Han Tie walked into the living room of the small building, and was stunned at that moment. The scene in front of him was quite bloody. In the living room, there were seven bloody corpses lying on the ground. The Japanese inside did not die for a long time, and the room smelled of blood.

Four of the corpses are not very old. It can be seen that they are about seven or eight years old. The youngest one is no more than three years old. The main artery was cut off by a sharp knife. Da, two of the women, one old and one young, also died after their main arteries were cut off. The last corpse was a Japanese man in his 60s wearing a kimono, with a Japanese knife sticking out of his stomach. Katana, reclining on the sofa.

Han Tie understood at a glance that the corpses in the house had committed suicide. The Japanese man in his 60s killed his family members and committed suicide by caesarean section. For some reason, he felt a little pity, especially when he saw the four When the child was dead, he felt that it shouldn't be like this, and it was even more incomprehensible to the Japanese nation.

"What a bunch of fucking beasts!" Han Tie scolded bitterly, and he didn't know who he was scolding. "Jiang Xianliang, did all the Japanese in Zhuanghe County die like this?" He asked.

Jiang Xianliang replied: "Commander, I have also checked several houses, and most of them committed suicide! I have ordered the troops to bury the Japanese corpses. It seems that this place has not had time!"

"Well, you've done a good job!" Han Tie said a little sadly. Seeing these Japanese who committed suicide or were killed by their relatives, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. It shouldn't be like this. The little devil is your life-and-death enemy, but civilians should not be involved. It is normal for soldiers to fight each other, yes. . . . . . "The nation of Japan! It's hard to understand!" He sighed in his heart.

Walking out of this small two-story building, Han Tie adjusted his emotions and said to the chief of staff, Colonel Wang Dongshan: "Chief of staff, immediately send a telegram to the teacher. The content is as follows. Our department has already occupied Zhuanghe County. The Japanese, regardless of men, women, or children, all committed suicide, and the people in the Northeast in the county are panicked because they don’t know our troops, and I’m afraid that as we go deeper into the Northeast, this kind of phenomenon will happen on a large scale!”

"Therefore, I request that the division command arrange administrative personnel who are familiar with city management as soon as possible, quickly enter the northeast, and follow the troops to take over and manage the city! Please give instructions as soon as possible!"

Han Tie did not send a telegram to the headquarters of the Crossing the Sea Campaign, but directly reported it to the division commander, because he felt that this was not a battle issue, but a city management issue, which could not be regarded as a leapfrog report.

The telegram soon arrived at the headquarters of the Independent Division in Kailu County, Mengdong. Tang Qiuli put down the telegram with a very relieved expression and said with emotion: "Yuhe, our generals all grew up on the battlefield. He is a good hand, but he has no experience in managing the city, and Han Tie can see this and make suitable suggestions, which is enough to prove that he has the ability to stand on his own!"

"Yuhe, Liu Hanzhang from Dingbian sent a telegram to draw at least 8000 experienced cadres from all levels of the Dingbian Special Zone Military and Political Committee, and select students from the Dingbian School of Administration and Management. The number of people should not be less than [-]. Receive the Northeast Working Group and head to the Liaodong Peninsula immediately!"

"Order the Military and Political Committee of Lu, Henan and Hubei to transfer no less than 8000 administrative cadres to form a work group to take over Northeast China; order the Military and Political Committee of Shanxi to remove no less than 5000 administrative cadres to form a work group to take over Northeast China; The military and political committee removed 8000 administrative cadres to form a Northeast work group. After the above-mentioned Northeast work group was formed, it immediately went to Peiping to stand by. According to statistics, we have a total of more than [-] administrative cadres who have entered the Northeast. ,enough!"

"Also, order the Pingjin Garrison Command to immediately mobilize more than 3 troops, order the Luyu Hubei Garrison Command to mobilize 4 troops, and order the Dingbian Garrison to mobilize 3 troops to form The troops of the Northeast Garrison Region, the above-mentioned troops, will immediately go to Beiping to stand by, and among them, 3 people from the Pingjin Garrison Command will immediately enter the Liaodong Peninsula to take over the defense of the Marine Corps Korea Railway Department!"

Tang Qiuli issued so many orders in one breath. He knew very well that the Northeast had been ruled by the Japanese for ten years, and the influence of the Japanese in the Northeast can be traced back to the last century. It would take a lot of money to eliminate them. In a sense, it is even more difficult and arduous than recovering the Northeast. Therefore, it is very necessary to transfer more than 8000 cadres and [-] troops from all over the country to take charge of the recovered Northeast.

After Zhao Yuhe handed over the division commander's order to a staff officer to issue, he discovered a problem. The troops and administrative cadres mobilized by the division commander were all concentrated in the northern provinces, while the southern provinces included troops and cadres from the Indochina Peninsula. He didn’t understand the one that was not transferred, and asked, “Master, why are the cadres and troops you transferred concentrated in the north? Is it because of the principle of convenience, or the consideration of similar regional conditions?”

Tang Qiuli smiled lightly, and did not explain deeply, "Yuhe, the cadres and local troops in several southern provinces, including the Indochina Peninsula, have other uses. Our appetite is not just a Northeast!"

Zhao Yu and Huo Ran understood that, perhaps, the teacher's eyes had already been fixed on those islands in the Pacific Ocean, including of course the vast Australian continent.
