After the Beiye Bear Brigade was eliminated, the road in front of Xu Rui suddenly became smoother. From Erlong Mountain to Jiamusi, there was no longer any force that could block Xu Rui's progress.
At that moment, Xu Rui ordered the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield to return immediately, and all the horses marched towards Fujin day and night.
At this time, there were only one small group of Japs and one company of puppet troops stationed in Fujin. Facing Xu Rui's attack, one small group of Japs all committed suicide after a battle of honor, while that company's puppet troops had long since I ran away without knowing where to go.
Without much effort, Xu Rui occupied Fujin, a famous city in Sanjiang Province. Xu Rui's troops only stayed in Fujin for one night, and then left Fujin and headed for Jiamusi in the west.
Fujin is about a hundred kilometers away from Jiamusi, and it would take less than a day on horseback. Along the way, Xu Rui's troops attacked Jiamusi with overwhelming force.
After leaving Fujin City, a few hours later, we arrived at the Huachuan border. After passing the Huachuan realm, we reached Jiamusi. Since the strategic location of Huachuan was not very important, the Japs only had one small team stationed in Huachuan. Xu Rui Not paying attention to this Japanese team, he led his troops to pounce on Jiamusi. Half a day later, Jiamusi was already in sight.
Jiamusi means inn in Manchu. Jiamusi was originally called Dongxing Town and was the seat of Huachuan County. It later became an independent city. After the Japanese occupied the Northeast, Sanjiang Province was established. Due to its important geographical location and large population, Jiamusi became the capital of Sanjiang Province.
The Japanese originally had a division stationed in Jiamusi, but as Yamashita launched a large-scale attack on the coastal area, the division stationed in Jiamusi was also transferred away. There was only one regiment left in Jiamusi, stationed at the Changfa Town Barracks on the outskirts of the city. Commander Watanabe Sukeguchi.
At this time, Watanabe Jieguchi had just received the news that Fujin had been lost. He couldn't help but be shocked. Once Fujin was lost, the transportation from Jiamusi to Khabarovsk was cut off, and the large amount of supplies stored in Jiamusi could not be sent to the battlefield in Primorsky Krai.
More importantly, Fujin is not far from Jiamusi, and there is no garrison in between. If Fujin is lost, the enemy can attack and attack Jiamusi.
As the top officer of the Jiamusi garrison, Watanabe did not dare to be careless. He immediately dispatched the entire army and headed towards Fujin, preparing to recapture Fujin. Unexpectedly, the forward team met Xu Rui who was coming from Fujin halfway. The two sides immediately started a war.
Xu Rui's attack was extremely sharp. Thousands of war horses rushed towards the Japanese in front. At the same time, some Soviet troops set up their mortars and fired hard at the Japanese.
Although the number of Japs was large, they were local garrison troops with limited combat power. They could not stop the joint attack of the guard regiment and the Wolf Fang. The vanguard team was quickly wiped out. Then, the guard regiment continued to move forward, killing the main Japs force in the rear. .
At this time, the main force of the Japanese was in chaos under the attack of mortars. After the mortar, before the Japanese could gather into formation, the horses of the guard group rushed over again, and the horse's knight shouted "Ula!" , seeing that he was about to break into the Japs team.
In such an encounter in the plain area, the enemy's firepower was not enough to pose a threat to the cavalry of the guard regiment. The cavalry had an overwhelming advantage over the infantry. If the fight continued, the entire enemy army would inevitably be annihilated.
When Watanabe Sukeguchi, who was behind the Japanese team, saw this situation, he knew that his defeat was certain.
"Colonel, the Soviets are coming again. We can't stand it anymore. What should we do?" an officer shouted.
Watanabe gritted his teeth and said: "Disperse and break out."
"Disperse and break out?" Everyone was stunned.
"Colonel, then our breakout direction is..."
"You can decide freely. As long as you can escape, after leaving here, immediately turn towards Yilan and Harbin." Watanabe Jieguchi used a very decent word "turn in".
But everyone knows that the subtext of breaking out and turning in separately is: "Escape for your own life."
In the history of the Japanese military, since the Meiji Restoration, many people will choose to break out even at the last moment, but no one has ever chosen to disperse and break out. In the eyes of the Japanese, spreading out and breaking out is an extremely shameful and cowardly act. Watanabe is The first officer who chose to use dispersion to break out, everyone looked at Watanabe Sukeguchi in disbelief, and couldn't believe their ears.
"Everyone, living is the most important thing." Watanabe said in a bitter tone. Looking at Watanabe Jieguchi, a Japanese officer suddenly realized. He vaguely remembered that Colonel Ebebe Jieguchi also seemed to be from Osaka...
"Hai!"
Following Watanabe Sukeguchi's order, countless Japanese soldiers gave up all their baggage, including machine guns and mortars. A large number of them even threw away their rifles, and then dispersed in droves, jumping into the streets on both sides of the road. Fields and woods were scattered. The roads were littered with weapons and ammunition discarded by the Japanese.
When seeing this scene, Xu Rui's side was also dumbfounded. Damn it, why didn't the little devil play his cards according to the routine and follow the Bushido spirit as promised? Is this a fucking brat? This is simply worse than the puppet army!
But the problem is that once the Japs dispersed and broke through, they all got off the road. The war horses couldn't pursue them quickly in the fields full of crops. They could only watch the Japs escape. Seeing the weapons discarded all over the ground, all the officers and soldiers I have the urge to scold my mother.
This little devil is so fucking spineless. A force of 3,000 people collapsed before contact was made, and he allowed an unpleasant battle
Xu Rui also smiled bitterly. It seemed that the plan to annihilate the Japanese garrison could not be implemented. However, since the Japanese had escaped, there was nothing he could do. He could only occupy Jiamusi first.
At that moment, Xu Rui led the troops into Jiamusi. At this time, the puppet troops and police in Jiamusi heard that the anti-Japanese armed forces had entered the city. They were so frightened that they dispersed early without firing a shot. Xu Rui and the troops occupied the entire Jiamusi, the pseudo-Sanjiang Province. the provincial capital city.
Jiamusi is a big city with nearly 300,000 people. This is undoubtedly a huge number in the vast and sparsely populated northeastern border area. All industries are prospering in the city and commerce is prosperous. It is the heart of the easternmost city in the country and ranks third in the East. It is called a city.
Being able to occupy such a big city is of extraordinary significance to Xu Rui. Firstly, most of the materials that the Japanese are planning to use to attack Primorsky Krai are hoarded in Jiamusi. Taking Jiamusi is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the old Japanese soldier Feng Shanxia. Secondly, To occupy such a truly meaningful city will be of great benefit to the future anti-Japanese struggle, both in terms of preparing materials and expanding troops. Therefore, Xu Rui decided to station in Jiamusi to mobilize the masses, expand the team, and raise funds and materials. , prepare for the next Japanese counterattack.
In the following days, Xu Rui first confiscated enemy property. All Japanese shops in the city were sealed and all supplies were handed over. The Japanese opened many gold shops in Jiamusi City, as well as banks opened by the Japanese government and the puppet Manchukuo. All his property became Xu Rui's trophies.
According to preliminary statistics, Xu Rui received only these enemy and puppet properties worth five million oceans.
Get rich!
Looking at the long list of enemy and puppet property, Xu Rui finally had a smile on his face.
"Hey, let's go! How much does this cost? Captain, we have made a fortune this time!" Digua burst into tears and drooled to the ground.
Leng Tiefeng also said: "I have money this time."
Digua said: "Captain, what are we doing with all this money? Why don't we use horses to go back to the Wujiashan base area."
Xu Rui said: "This place is so far away from the Wujiashan base area. How can we transport it? Rather than leaving it to the Japanese, it is better to spend it in the shortest possible time."
"What? Spend it all? Leader, this is at least five million, how can you spend it all?" Digua shook his head repeatedly.
"Spend all the money? How is this possible?" No one believed Xu Rui's words.
Xu Rui said: "Did I say it's all spent? I'm going to recruit a team of ten thousand people. I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just for the settlement expenses, plus the clothing, food, and other expenses for these new soldiers." For other expenses, ten days will cost over one million and hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"That won't cost five million oceans." Digua said.
Xu Rui added: "The rest of the money is used for rewards. Killing a Japanese soldier will reward you with ten yuan, and killing an officer will reward you with fifty yuan."
"That's a good idea." Digua chuckled.
"From now on, notices will be posted all over the city. As long as men are over 16 years old, no more than 35 years old, no night blindness, no duck feet, and over 1.6 meters tall, they can join the army. As long as they are selected, You can get 500 yen as settlement allowance and 200 kilograms of food."
"Okay." Digua nodded.
Xu Rui believes that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. The purchasing power of the Japanese yen is very high. Five hundred yen is already a lot of money now. Adding two hundred kilograms of grain, these supplies are enough for a family to live for several months. For a long time, such conditions have been very attractive to many urban poor.
After the recruitment notice was posted, Xu Rui recruited more than 2,000 people within two days. However, there is still a long way to go with Xu Rui's goal of forming an army of 10,000 people. The Northeast is generally relatively stable now. Coupled with the enslavement education of the Japanese, many people lost the courage to resist and did not dare to come out to fight against the Japanese, so it was difficult to recruit soldiers.
Xu Rui also knew this situation. It seemed that simply using money to recruit soldiers would not work. A big move must be made.
In the past two days, Xu Rui gave a lot of food stored in Jiamusi to the people for free. Of course, the people are happy to enjoy these free food, especially its rice, which is the most popular. Since the Japanese policy is not to allow Chinese people to eat rice, so Many people finally tasted rice after a few years.
However, at this time, a message passed through the city: "The Japanese have promised that if the Japanese come back, they will kill all the Chinese who have eaten rice..."
