The twenty-fourth chapter of the city's ups and downs (7)
Looking at the continuous explosions coming from the base outside the city, the reinforcements in the city that were blocked in the open area, they seemed somewhat shocked. From such a dense explosion, they could guess the fate of the defenders at the base.
If the battle at the 731 base did not alarm the ordinary people in the city. Even if the sudden fierce gunfire sounded in the city, it woke many people who were sleeping sounded at home. They all guessed that something big happened in the city.
At this moment, the garrison officer of the Harbin City who was in charge of the garrison headquarters anxiously urged the reinforcements out of the city to speed up the reinforcements, while also waiting for the arrival of Shiro Ishii and others. However, the sudden gunfire in the city made his heart tighten again.
After finding the messenger to ask what happened, the messenger didn't know the specific situation for a while. Until the officer on duty who was responsible for the city patrol, rushed into the headquarters with a panic expression.
He said with a hint of panic: "General, something happened! General Ishii was assassinated by unknown armed personnel on the way to the headquarters. At present, his guards are really going to chase the assassination murderer.
Except for General Ishii, the assistants from other bases outside the city were assassinated at home on the way to the headquarters. The specific casualties of those people were not yet accurate. However, I am afraid that there will be a large number of assassinators in the city!”
‘Where is? General Ishii is broken? How is this possible? What is his guard doing? How can he give him the chance to assassinate General Ishii! Damn it, send the military police out and pursue the murderer in the city with all his might.’
‘Yes, general! However, in order to ensure the safety of the headquarters, the military police should stay at the headquarters! At present, I have all the city defense forces and are conducting full investigations. The headquarters also ordered to strengthen its vigilance!’
Listening to the report of the officer on duty, the garrison officer knew that this incident was broken tonight, but he still understood that the officer's concerns made sense. Who dares to say that his headquarters must be safe?
When the Japanese and puppet troops in the city were urgently called to go out to the streets to carry out a large-scale search, the Sabre Special Forces who were sent by Zhu Fei to carry out the destruction in the city were also not polite to implement the destruction plan.
The gunshots and explosions made the entire city of Harbin's New Year's Day extremely chaotic. Many people who were awakened by the gunshots also secretly wondered who dared to do such a thing in Harbin, where the Japanese army was stationed.
People who knew Shi Qing had a good understanding of the people, also began to speculate: "Can the Eighth Route Army come into the city?"
'Who knows! However, I heard that the Eighth Route Army outside the Pass has grown very quickly, and the Japanese are afraid that they will not have a good life. However, the Eighth Route Army has not even taken down Fengtian and Xing'an, so how could it be that we can come to us!'
While these people were chatting, the garrison officer also knew that Shiro Ishii's death could no longer be concealed. The most important thing was that when it came to important things like the 731st Unit, he could not make the final decision.
After drafting a telegram overnight and quickly sent it to the Kwantung Army Command, Mei Jiro, who was also woken up overnight, did not have a good rest last night, but was called out again tonight.
Mei Jiro, who looked unhappy, said with a gloomy face: "What happened again?"
‘Hisser Commander, I just received a telegram from the Harbin City garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison garrison
In addition, before the telegram came, General Ishii, the commander of the 731 unit, was assassinated on the street not far from his residence. Along with him were assassinated, several senior assistants of the 731 unit base.’
As soon as these words were spoken, Mei Jiro Mijiro said with a dazed glance: "Where is the attack on Unit 731? The guards there are so tight and there are large troops stationed. How can the enemy find a chance to attack?"
‘Mr. Commander, it has been snowing heavily in Harbin these two days, and it is often raining and sleeting at night. In such bad weather, I am afraid that the garrison troops would not expect that someone would raid the base they were guarding at night!’
When he received the telegram, the officer on duty was also frightened by the news. The officer on duty had also heard of some of the details about the 731st Unit and knew that this unit was a bit special and unique.
No matter how bad it is, the death of a general who is well-known in the Kwantung Army does need to be reported to the headquarters to know. But he has to secretly admire that these sneak attackers are really not simple!
In such extremely bad and cold weather, the other party was still willing to take action. He had to say "convinced" just because of his patience and determination. But he naturally didn't dare to say these words in his heart.
When Mei Jiro summoned the headquarters staff officer overnight to start discussing the attack on the 731 unit. Seeing the underground passage completely blown down, Zhu Fei and his group also seemed relieved.
As for the underground concentration camp, although it has not yet collapsed, the special forces team also retained some backs there when leaving the underground passage. Once the passage is dug up and those mechanisms are touched, the consequences will be enough for the Japanese to drink a pot.
Based on Zhu Fei's speculation about the Japanese character, he believed that the only way to blow up the entrance was to be destroyed, he was afraid that the Japanese would not be able to dig the entrance. However, he did not directly detonate the detonation device placed in the concentration camp.
Even Zhu Fei, who left the 731 base, hoped that the Japanese could dig up the underground passage and check the situation inside. Only in this way, when they detonate the explosion device inside, the entire underground concentration camp will be reduced to ruins.
At that time, I believe that the Japanese who entered the underground passage would not have the possibility of survival. Even when they left, the special forces team still laid out many booby and detonating devices inside the base.
Doing this will also cause more trouble for the Japanese. If the Japanese reinforcements arrive and if they want to check the situation inside, they may have to rely on their lives to fill it out to know the final loss.
I believe this time can also be transferred to buy valuable time for them. The most important thing is to use the Japanese to pay attention to the base to attract more troops and give prisoners of war a chance to break through.
When leaving the base, Zhu Fei also said in time: "Tap two signal flares and notify the blocking troops to retreat!"
‘Yes, captain!’
As the two signal flares took off near the base, the Japanese reinforcements who were desperately rushing to the base seemed somewhat puzzled. But after being worried, some Japanese soldiers soon found that they were no longer shooting black guns.
Some officers realized that the previous signal flares should have been fired by people attacking the base. The function of the signal flares should be to notify the troops that blocked their departure. It is precisely because of this that their attack was so safe during this period.
But from another perspective, since the other party asked the blocking troops to retreat, the battle at the base was realized to end. So at this moment, are there surviving soldiers in the base? Are those detainees still in the base?
With these confusions, an officer immediately shouted: "Speed up! The enemy has retreated, and we must arrive at the base as fast as possible. Damn, we have been delaying here too long!"
Through the previous blocking war, the Japanese who drove out of the city to support him already knew that there were not many troops blocking them. However, most of these blocking warriors were brave and good at fighting, which cost them a considerable price.
The most important thing is that they failed to arrive at the base on time to carry out rescue. Now that the other party retreats on their own, it also means that even if they arrive at the base, the only thing they can do may be to collect the corpses of the Japanese there.
At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops outside Harbin were awakened overnight and began to set up checkpoints on various highways. But for the prisoners who broke through at this moment, their current guides were also familiar with the Japanese's defense situation.
What even touched them was that once they encountered the Japanese search troops, the Eighth Route Army who stayed behind the palace were the Eighth Route Army that covered them. This behavior of leaving their hopes for life and danger for themselves did touch them.
Faced with some prisoners of war who insisted on staying, the Eighth Route Army who was responsible for covering and guiding them, they would also explain in time: "We are more familiar with the terrain here and will lead the Japanese to other places, and there will be no problem.
We only have one night to break through. After dawn, the Japanese are afraid that they will launch a large-scale search. If you cannot break through the siege tonight, the road ahead will be even more dangerous. So, don’t argue about this matter!"
As the rescue team predicted, the Japanese and puppet troops around Harbin City and even the entire Black Province were awakened by the nightly telegram from the Kanto Army Headquarters. Around the periphery of Harbin City, the Kanto Army also set up blocking networks.
As the commander of the Kwantung Army, Mei Jiro knew very well what the 731 unit was engaged in. Once these imprisoned prisoners escaped the pursuit, the matters related to the 731 unit may be leaked.
The most important thing is that among the detainees of the 731 unit, there are some foreigners. Once these foreigners are allowed to successfully return to the country or the Eighth Route Army, the impact on the Japanese army will be even worse.
Even if the Japanese Bo now has no rivals in Asia, but with relations with countries around the world, Japanese Bo still hopes to remain friendly. After all, to support this increasingly large war of aggression, they need a massive amount of imported materials.
If you cannot buy these strategic materials, your impact on them will be fatal. In this case, Mejiro Umekari can only choose to kill three thousand by mistake and refuse to let go of one.
But for Zhu Fei and others who are also breaking through the siege at this moment, what they have to do is also very simple. They are to protect the foreigners from safely reaching the rear of the Eighth Route Army as much as possible and escort them safely to the liberated area.
