blood feud

The officers of the Fengtian Independent Garrison Brigade had no choice but to speak. Now they had to explain to the Japanese Kwantung Army and to the Marshal Xiaoliuzi. A large number of reporters surrounded the headquarters.How to explain?

They don't know anything about the situation, when the Japanese started to mobilize, when the battle started, how many troops were invested by both sides, how the battle progressed, and what the final outcome was, they didn't know anything.Faced with criticism from all sides, they are helpless!

The Japanese Kwantung Army Command received the telegram and immediately called Yukihiro Hirata to verify the implementation. Only then did they know the truth that one squadron was wiped out and two squadrons were defeated.As for Qianjinzhai Coal Mine, they have completely lost contact!Needless to say, the economic artery of the Great Japanese Empire has been cut off!It is also a fact that nearly [-] Japanese overseas Chinese were taken away!

Four days later, the Youyan detachment issued a second battle report, which detailedly explained how Hirata Yukihiro escaped alone, and announced the specific data on the annihilation of the enemy and the list of major officers.Of course, in this telegram, the Youyan detachment was "sacrificed" again (more than 0 people.

In this large-scale siege, the Japanese army concentrated more than 800 people and attacked from two directions. As a result, more than [-] people were killed and injured!This telegram further confirmed the public's speculation.Reporters from all walks of life asked about the location of the Youyan detachment, but no one knew the exact location.Reporters from all over gathered in Fengtian City, but they couldn't find any interviewees.

The staff officer of the Independent Garrison Brigade came out and issued a statement: "The South Manchuria Railway has always been managed by the Japanese, which is not within the scope of our department's responsibility. Our department is not responsible for the specific development of the situation."

The reporter ran to the Marshal's mansion, and the young marshal was dancing with Miss Fourth in Tianjin.After finally finding Tang Yulin's mansion, he was told, "I have no comment. This commander is mainly responsible for Rehe affairs."

In the end, I managed to come across a few laborers who left voluntarily after being rescued.After their embellished remarks, coupled with the self-imagination of the workers, the process of the matter became more complicated and confusing.

Coincidentally, a reporter finally learned that the Youyan detachment had two locations through a hunter.One is the Daqingshan Mountains, which the Japanese army focused on attacking, and the other is Caiyun Villa.This insider once saw a large number of Japanese women and children being brought to Caiyun Villa.

Many reporters immediately searched for various means of transportation and rushed to Caiyun Villa.As a result, he was stopped halfway.The reason was that "Caiyun Villa was borrowed by Youyan Detachment for Japanese women and children to temporarily live in. This villa was ordered by Youyan Detachment to not accept outsiders."

At the same time, Gan Tong and Zhao Jinxi received a telegram from Lan Caiqin about the reporter's question.Gan Tong ordered them to receive reporters, so that reporters could see the Japanese women and children who had been resettled.Talk more about irrelevant things and less about relevant things.At the same time, Lan Caiqin was ordered to arrange people to bring these reporters to the outskirts of Daqing Mountain to interview the workers.

Afterwards, Gan Tong sent an urgent telegram to Zhang Xiang: "Order: You can receive reporters to interview the laborers. The location is on the farm. Let the reporters listen to what the laborers have to say. Arrange two platoons of soldiers to attend the reception, and one third of them will be equipped with [-] rifles, two-thirds are equipped with old-fashioned rifles. If the caliber is to be unified, the [-] rifles will be seized."

Zhang Xiang, Cheng Shijie and others saw the telegram and immediately understood the game of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger".So two platoons of soldiers were urgently mobilized to change their clothes for rehearsal. One-third of the soldiers changed into clothes taken off from the devils, and two-thirds were ordinary people's clothes.Then they all lived in the farm, waiting for the arrival of reporters.

By noon on the fourth day, the first group of reporters finally arrived at the farm.Thousands of unkempt laborers are eating corn mush for lunch.This is entirely true, as these laborers have been starving for too long and are currently in the recuperation phase.As for changing clothes, I haven't had time yet, because there are too many people.

When the reporter walked into the farm, he was immediately infected by this scene.All run to the laborer and start asking a barrage of questions.Let these uncrowned kings understand what a hell on earth is!One of the Japanese reporters stood up and accused the fraud. Those laborers tore off their clothes and spoke with scrawny facts!

If the soldiers hadn't stopped him, the Japanese reporter would have been beaten to death by the laborers on the spot!Zhang Xiang and others brought out a group of Japanese employees from the coal mine and asked them to be interviewed.After comparing the two aspects, the reporter finally confirmed that what the workers said was true!

As the Associated Press reporter issued the first newsletter with rich pictures and texts, a huge wave of "anti-Japanese economic aggression" erupted on the streets of the United States, which directly alarmed the top officials of the White House!After the two houses voted, the United States decided to impose economic sanctions on Japan!

The Associated Press reporter wrote in the report:

"According to the workers, the Qianjinzhai Coal Mine operated by the Japanese has more than 2 deaths every year due to hunger, overwork, disease and mine accidents. In the past ten years, the total death toll has exceeded [-] Qianjin Zhaidonggou is one of the famous mass graves.”

"The faces of those poor hard-working laborers who had narrowly escaped death are now filled with happy smiles. Especially for the homeless laborers, the Youyan Detachment has promised them to open up wasteland in this small basin surrounded by beautiful mountains. Land, and the future life will also be settled.”

"The Youyan detachment has its own farm. According to their military director, Mr. Zhang, if there is no outsider intrusion, they will work here, grow food, and raise pigs. This is a group of dedicated farmers, many of whom came from Those who escaped from the Japanese coal mines and hid in the mountains were not the barbaric bandits that the Japanese Kwantung Army called!"

"During the interview, we also saw a company of female soldiers, all of whom were persecuted by the big bosses of the coal mines to the point of ruin, or poor sisters who had been victimized by bandits. They spontaneously organized and used force to protect themselves from being violated. They Take care of Japanese women and children, don’t beat or scold, don’t go hungry. But they are so poor that they have almost nothing.”

"This Youyan detachment has strict military discipline and can be regarded as a model for all military teams in the world! Their Eight Army Regulations and Seven Killing Orders have won the support of everyone. They don't use ordinary people's needles and threads, and they don't smoke opium. No gambling. Behaviors such as mutilating ordinary people and raping prostitutes are all death crimes here!"

This exclusive interview by a reporter from the Associated Press was later reprinted by newspapers around the world.The reputation of the Youyan Detachment was immediately known to the whole world.

Everything about the outside world, as the most important party involved, Bai Shujie doesn't know anything now.At present, he is leading the second cavalry company to gallop across the vast grassland, enjoying the charming scenery of the prairie.

On this day, they came to the vicinity of Naiman Banner, followed a mountain ridge, and came to the triangle area where the two rivers meet. This is an important place that Bai Shujie came out to investigate this time.The river is not very wide, but it is summer, the current is very fast, and it is very difficult to cross the river on foot.

Following the river to the southwest, there is a valley.There is a small road in the valley to the top of the mountain, and the ridges on both sides are steep slopes.The highest drop is more than 80 meters. If the enemy is brought in here and ambushed on the mountain ridges on both sides, this will be an excellent battlefield.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Shujie asked everyone to set up a camp in the valley for the night.

Before going to bed at night, Bai Shujie asked: "Commander Hou, you said there is a Dewang's horse farm here in Naiman Banner. Where is it?"

"Hehe, Captain, if it wasn't for your insistence to come and see this place where no shit, we can do it tonight!" Hou Zide smiled, and then said: "It is about 180 miles southwest of here, There is an excellent pasture, where the prince's fine horses are concentrated."

"We have passed three flags this time, why do you say not to do anything?" Bai Shujie asked Hou Zide suspiciously: "I think the two racecourses in Kulun Banner and Aohan Banner are good, and there are 1000 horse farms in each place." Many fine horses."

Hou Zide shook his head and said: "Because when I went out to buy food, I found out that there are currently more than 4000 horses gathered in this horse farm in Naiman Banner, and they are waiting for the Japanese to come to pick them. So we went before the Japanese came. , strike first! The key is how much is the detachment leader going to take away?"

Bai Shujie, who has been a man for two lifetimes, has never done this kind of horse-stealing business.So I had to listen to Hou Zide's opinion: "How much do you think we can take away?"

"This racecourse is about 360 miles away from us. If there is no one to stop it, it will take at least a day and a night to go back."

Hou Zide counted with his fingers: "However, we didn't bring horse feed, so we had to graze halfway, otherwise, the horses would lose weight. Therefore, it may take three to four days to go back. According to our current manpower After arranging two platoons to serve as guards, they can take away up to 800 horses."

"Of course, it would be easy to find out the winning horse and take it away at a glance. You won't know until the scene. Detachment leader, you may not have seen three or four thousand war horses standing together. People have to be loud! Once you run, you will feel like a big earthquake. If you want to leave secretly, it is impossible!"

"Our method is, once we succeed, we have to take a batch of them to drill the valley according to the groups that have been divided in advance. How much we can bring home depends on our luck! Therefore, when we do it, we will take the entire racecourse. All the war horses are released to create chaos. Then gather as much as you can."

The two talked about it, and Bai Shujie felt like an idiot listening to heaven.As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain, and this sentence works everywhere.

After finally waiting until dawn, everyone made breakfast and had enough food and drink.Everyone checked their horses carefully again, and Hou Zide gave the order to set off.Because we are going to do it tonight, we can only let the horses play freely, and we can't rush on the road, otherwise we will have no strength at night.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
