Chapter 382: The First Stage of the Southern Front Operation
"Teacher seat, Captain Niu called. The detachment is ready to go. Please ask the division seat to issue an offensive order!" At about six o'clock, Long Yingqin walked into the command room and saluted loudly and reported.
"The telegram to the emperor Niu Xianmin, you can start!" Leng Feng ordered calmly.
"yes!"
Heiyandun, less than five kilometers away from Wuyi Town, Niu Xianmin set up the command center here, disguising itself as a member of the "Little Knife Club".
The advance detachment had more than 2,000 people in action. The Japanese were not blind and would definitely notice it. If they could not hide it, they would alarm the other party.
But if the Japanese army disguised as a civil anti-Japanese organization like "Little Knife Society", even if they knew about it, they would disagree and relax their vigilance.
Niu Xianmin's move really confused the Japanese army. The Japanese army headed north and was extremely arrogant. In addition to ****, they were disdainful of the civil anti-Japanese organizations. Some of them were just bandits who killed people and robbed money. When these teams met the elite regular army, they would collapse in an instant.
These civil anti-Japanese organizations, including bandits, are indeed not opponents of the Japanese army. They can only engage in sneak attacks and make small fusses. They really want to fight positions with regular troops. They really touched the tiger's butt, and they felt that they had lived for a long time.
Therefore, the Japanese army didn't care. They came to get a bargain. They dared not attack the Japanese Imperial Team easily. Otherwise, Colonel Two would not mind taking it first.
Based on this judgment, Colonel Two did not think that the mob that appeared behind him would pose any threat to him, but just sent a small team of guard troops to Wuyi Town.
In his opinion, there was a small team of elite Japanese troops, enough to deal with these mobs with only spears and big swords.
Any careless work is destined to pay a heavy price, and Colonel's self-righteousness also laid the groundwork for his failure.
The investigation team had already sneaked into Wuyi Town. The Japanese army was too careless and only sent an additional team of Japanese troops to the town, and one of them was a policeman. The total total force was only 100.
The ancient town of Wuyi is convenient for transportation and is located in an important geographical location. The boats on the Qingliu River on the street can reach the Yangtze River. It connects to the four seas and is a place for military strategists to compete for.
It is also an important post station on the ancient post roads of the north and south capitals. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there were official delivery services in Wuyi Old Street. There were pavilions and pavilions stationed in the shops and pavilions to manage pavilions and official documents. At the beginning of the Republic of China, China Post was established and the post office and telegraph branch office were abolished.
Wuyi Town is prosperous in business, with shops on the old street. After the Jinpu Railway was opened to traffic, the road, rail, water and transportation hubs have become more prosperous and the geographical location is more important.
The Japanese obviously understood this truth, so the 65th Regiment went south and blocked the Honorary First Division to head north to occupy Wuyi Town.
The prosperity and prosperity of Wuyi Town were also coveted by the Japanese army. The wealth of the four major families in Wuyi Town was even more wanted by the Japanese. Therefore, no matter for this military strategist, or the wealth of Wuyi Town, the Japanese army did not allow the Honorary First Division to head north.
The 65th Regiment guarded Chuzhou. In addition to being responsible for logistics transportation safety, another important task was to plunder the wealth of Chuzhou area.
Wuyi Town, known as the "Little Nanjing", is undoubtedly the focus.
The four major families in Wuyi Town are not weak. After the Japanese army occupied Wuyi Town, they did not rob them, which would only lead to the resistance of the four major families.
A broken Wuyi Town is undoubtedly not what the Japanese army wants. What they want is the cooperation of four major families, obediently giving their wealth and cooperating with the Imperial Army.
The four major families can provide me with supplies for military supplies to achieve the goal of fighting to support war.
There are more than ten grain stores in Wuyi Town, and there are many other shops, restaurants, inns and theaters.
In order to resettle and transport hundreds of thousands of refugees in Nanjing, Wuyi Town is also very important to the Honorary First Division. It also needs a stable source of supplies.
He has money, Wuyi Town has food and various supplies, and he wants to turn cash into supplies. The merchants of the four major families in Wuyi Town also hope to turn materials into money.
Although the Japanese also used money to buy them, those Japanese military tickets were like waste paper and kept the price to a minimum. They were almost like robbing for nothing.
Who is willing to do such a deal, let alone become a traitor and his family will be destroyed?
So the Japanese have calculated one more wrong, that is, if the "Xiaodao Club" robbed Wuyi Town, the four major families and wealthy businessmen in the town will definitely ask them for help. At that time, they can take advantage of this opportunity to force these people to bow their heads and get what they want.
However, they calculated the mistake. The reconnaissance team of the Honorary First Division entered Wuyi Town not only did not be driven away by the four major families in the town, but instead protected them.
The Japanese didn't notice it at all.
At this time, businessmen are far more patriotic than some politicians. Although businessmen are seeking profits and seem to be the least moral, businessmen are the most sensitive.
They feel more like the ordinary people, especially those who have done business with foreigners. Although they make money, they are unwilling to say the humiliation they suffer.
They deeply feel the suffering of the country's poverty and weakness.
The Japanese wanted to swallow their property and the belts and bones. How could they be willing to do it? At this time, the Honor Division sent someone to contact him. It was a hit and it was a coincidence. The four major families of Luo, Ma, Yin and Nie were not only willing to serve as insiders, but each family also offered 100,000 yuan.
The only thing to be solved was the Japanese army and puppet police in the town, as well as some traitor businessmen who were willing to surrender to the Japanese army and became accomplices of the tiger.
These are not problems. The advance detachment of the New 38th Brigade Northbound is an elite force, all of which were drawn from the most capable team. The combat effectiveness has been reflected in the battles of Xuancheng and Quanjiao.
After receiving the order, Niu Xianmin immediately ordered the troops to take action. In addition to occupying Wuyi Town, he also had to seize some strategic points, such as roads, bridges and other channels where the Japanese army might retreat northward and establish blocking positions.
In addition, there were also Japanese troops facing Chuzhou, and they established outpost positions on Balipu, Danzi Street north of Wuyi Town, to monitor the Japanese troops in Chuxian.
Wu Youyuan led a battalion, the battalion that was slaughtered to Wuyi Town. With the support of the reconnaissance team, he killed the Japanese post and entered the old street of Wuyi Town.
In the end, it was not completely hidden from the Japanese army in the town, and the crisp gunshots rang out at dawn.
The Japanese army's resistance was very tenacious, but they did not have a particularly advantage in the face of the elite battalion. Tuman personally led his troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese army.
After paying the price of more than twenty casualties, the Japanese squad was completely wiped out.
The main streets and important strongholds of Wuyi Town fell into the hands of the Honorary First Division.
Hearing gunfire from behind, two corners of Ye Zou, who was receiving the instructions from the commander of the Difen Li Soldier Division, was shocked and rushed out of the corps command center, showing shock towards Wuyi Town.
"Sir..."
"Contact Uehara Lieutenant Uehara from Wuyi Town immediately and ask what's going on?" Liangjiao Yezuo had a slight ominous premonition. Wuyi Town
"Hayi!"
"Moshimothy..."
"Sir, can't the phone be reached?"
"If Baga phone can't be connected, won't you call the radio?" Liangjiao Yezuo was so angry that his dull subordinates trembled all over. The gunshots became increasingly dense. Obviously, a fierce battle occurred in Wuyi Town.
"Come. Order the cavalry brigade to send a small team to investigate in the direction of Wuyi Town." Liangjiao Yezuo did not expect to gain any confidence. If an enemy really attacked Wuyi Town and cut off the telephone line, he would definitely find a way to capture the Telegram Bureau.
Wuyi Town is prosperous in commerce and a telegraph bureau is set up to facilitate businessmen's external contact. After the Japanese army occupied Wuyi Town, the first one to control was the Telegraph Bureau and the Post Bureau, which held the two key institutions of external communications in their hands, and Wuyi Town's external contacts were completely controlled. This was undoubtedly a lifeline for the merchants in Wuyi Town.
If you lose the access to external contact, how do you know the situation outside and how do you understand the information about external companies and businesses?
The Japanese army did not have so many radio operators, so although the Telegraph Bureau occupied Wuyi Town still used previous personnel, the power to send and receive telegrams was captured.
The staff of the Telegraph Bureau need to search every day to go to and from get off work to prevent entrapment.
This is just a commercial radio station, although the Japanese army saw strictness. It is mainly aimed at the four major families in Wuyi Town and those rich businessmen. Military telegrams are sent and received, and the Japanese army has their own radio stations and will not pass here.
Liangjiaoye hopes that nothing will happen. But this is just the first bad news he received, and the second one followed one after another.
Almost at the same time, he felt the earth under his feet shaking violently, and then he saw Yi's scene that shocked him.
A series of screams sounded from the sky, and hundreds of artillery shells slammed on the frontier positions of the Japanese army with shouts of death.
The fireball burst out, and many soldiers had no time to hide. They were already blown to pieces.
In the east, Xige Town, who had fought against him for a week, suddenly launched a fierce attack. Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, the soldiers launched a charge, seized the Japanese frontier position in one breath, and pushed the depth to 500 meters in one breath!
Colonel Liangjiao was a little confused.
During the previous week of confrontation, although the Chinese team occasionally counterattacked, it was not fierce. The Japanese army even attacked the opponent's positions several times, and the two sides fought a lot.
He admitted that the combat effectiveness of this Chinese team, that is, the Honorary First Division, is far more tenacious than that of ordinary troops. It is all Japanese equipment, but it is still a little different from the soldiers under his command.
A few days ago, they had another change of defense, and replaced the troops with heavy casualties to rest and replace them with another unit. Although they were a new force, the battle was a little different than the troops that went on to rest and rest. If the opponent had not had enough troops, then his troops could break through the defense line of the Zhong* team.
Later, after two days of fighting, the Chinese team had strong vitality and extraordinary learning ability. They actually blocked their own offense, stabilized the front line, and re-formed the confrontation pattern.
But the Japanese army pushed their positions south by at least 500 meters!
But just now, the Chinese team suddenly launched a counterattack. Under the fierce artillery fire, it not only regained its previous position, but also brought the battle to the position three days ago, but also caused nearly one squadron to be injured and killed.
Liangjiao Yezuo was angry and ordered the Japanese army to launch a counterattack, and the two armies fought fiercely.
The commander of the brigade of the 39th Brigade was Ju Youlin, the commander of the 39th Brigade. His mission was to delay and attract the 65th Japanese Army Regiment and give the North Advance Detachment and the New 37th Brigade a time to siege.
Once the Japanese army finds out that something is wrong and flees to Chu County, the Northbound Detachment has not yet established a solid defense line and is easily destroyed by the fierce Japanese army.
The Japanese army is not ****. The retreat of **** is almost like a defeat. The Japanese army can attack and retreat.
Ju Youlin's move was to stimulate the Japanese army. He fought with the Japanese army for three days, but he still didn't know the temper of the Japanese commander. Liangjiao Yezuo was a irritable and vindictive person. After suffering such a big loss, he would definitely take revenge.
As long as he ordered a counterattack, the New 39th Brigade could bite the other party tightly, delay time and distract it from the attention.
