Kanto State

Compared with the 99.88% attendance rate of Japanese children in Kanto Prefecture, there are 121 Chinese elementary schools in Kanto Prefecture with 46,119 students; There are 16 high schools with 21,028 students. The school attendance rate is only 20 per cent. There are a total of 420 faculty members, of whom more than half are Japanese.

There was no puppet Manchu army in Kwantung Prefecture, because it was not under the administration of the puppet Manchukuo. In the hearts of the Japanese, it is part of the Japanese mainland, and only the Japanese army and police can be stationed. However, since January 1940, the Kanto Agency of Japan has registered men over the age of 14 and under the age of 55 in Kanto Prefecture in accordance with Japan's National General Mobilization Law, as a document for reserve military service and labor recruitment, and both Japanese and Chinese must perform military service in accordance with the law.

The Jinfu Railway is the only private railway in Kanto Prefecture initiated by the Japanese Nezu Kaichiro, from Jinzhou to Chengzituan through Piziwo, named Jinfu Railway, officially opened in 1927, with a total length of 102 kilometers, and was acquired by the Manchurian Railway on May 20, 1939. Now a pair of passenger cars are opened every day from Jinzhou to Chengzituan, and trucks are run irregularly. Carry sea salt, oil crops, timber and fruits produced along the line to the sea in Jinzhou or transfer to the South Manchurian Railway to the hinterland of Liaoning.

In the twentieth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1422 AD, the Ming Dynasty built the Guifu Fort City on the bank of the Biliu River in the east of Fuzhou and north of Pikou Port in order to prevent the invasion of the Japanese from the shore of the Yellow Sea. Later, it was changed to Chengzi Tuan. At the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 and the signing of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty between the two invaders, the victorious Japan expanded the "Kanto Prefecture" to Chengzituan, bounded by the small bridge in the center of the city, which was under the jurisdiction of the Japanese colonial authorities in the south and the Qing court in the north. Since the 918 Incident, the entire Northeast region has been occupied by Japan, and the city has naturally been managed by the Japanese. But the little devil was both a bitch and a memorial arch, and he still assigned the north of the city to the puppet Manchukuo for management. It's just that the Japanese have a strong sense of transportation. Relying on the railway line to develop the city, such as the South Manchurian Railway's Pulandian and Wafangdian, have developed very fast, especially Wafangdian, where the Japanese established a large bearing factory. Attracting immigrants has replaced the status of Fuzhou, an important town in eastern Liaodong.

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Chengzituan is a famous ancient town in Fuzhou. After the construction of the Jinfu Railway, it became a terminal station and was one of the important cargo distribution centers along the Yellow Sea. It's lively. The little devil's tax office, police station, and civil affairs office have all been built, and even the big smoke houses and brothels on the street have been turned into two-story western-style buildings with brick and gray structures.

The Japanese do not smoke a lot, and they are busy running elementary schools, middle schools, and vocational and technical schools, so that the children of the Japanese can receive systematic cultural education. It is convenient to work in the Kwantung Prefecture and the whole of Northeast China, the Far East, and Mongolia, so as to rule the uneducated Chinese. But the Japanese forced the Chinese to grow opium. After they refined it, they opened a big smoke house for the Chinese to smoke, until the big smokers were satisfied with the "frozen down" that exhausted their family property and turned into hemp rods and fell to the joints. That would make it easier for them to change the demographics of the Northeast.

Chengzituan is now a garrison point, and there are Japanese troops, Japanese police, military police, and a railway garrison responsible for the security of the Jinfu Railway. Because when the Northeast Volunteer Army was surging, a number of volunteer troops were born on the ground of Zhuanghe, fighting with the Japanese invaders, and Chengzituan was the outpost position of the Kwantung Army stationed in the Kwantung Prefecture troops to crusade against the Zhuanghe Volunteer Army, and the little devils could not send troops to garrison. Although the anti-Japanese volunteers have disappeared and the Communist Party-led Anti-Japanese League has been reduced to zero, the Japanese defenders in Chengzituan have not withdrawn, but the strength of the troops has been reduced before the Japanese-Soviet War, and now it is the strength of two squadrons.

At half past four o'clock in the morning on March 26, 1942, the Eighth Column Cavalry Regiment of the Eighth Column of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army, which landed from Huāyuankou, arrived at Chengzi Tuan.

Lang Tingchang, the new political commissar of the Eighth Column Cavalry Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, is often a legendary figure.

Anyone who has read the novel "Red Rock" knows that there is a hero named Hua Ziliang in it, who pretends to be crazy and stupid, fights wits and courage with spies, and plays the role of a liaison. This Lang Ting is often Hua Ziliang of Dalian.

Lang Tingchang was a native of Dong'a, Shandong, came to Dalian through the eastern part of the country, worked as a worker on the South Manchurian Railway, joined the Communist Party in 1936, and was the secretary of the special branch under the Dalian Municipal Party Committee. After the destruction of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee in April 1937, Lang Tingchang was arrested in August and imprisoned at the Xigang Police Station. The little devil tried all the torture to make him succumb, and his identity was not revealed. The devil gendarme asked him, "Do you know what the Red Army is and what the White Army is?" He opened his mouth and replied, "Yes." Those who put the red cloth on their heads were the Red Army, and those who put the white cloth on their heads were the White Army. The angry devil gendarme picked up the leather whip and whipped it, and after the beating, he took out a photo of the person in charge of the underground party and asked him if he knew him? Lang Ting often took the photo and looked at it very seriously, but said he didn't know it for a long time. The devil gendarmes tried to pry his mouth open with inhumane torture such as pouring cold water and sitting on an electric chair, but the final answer was "You can bury it if you want to, and you can kill if you want to, I just participated in the 'fun party' and I don't know anything else." The little devil gendarme had no choice but to put him in prison, and Lang Tingchang began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, not eating or drinking for a while, and going crazy for a while, with words in his mouth. In order to test whether he was really crazy or fake, the devil brought the commode to him, and he grabbed the and wiped it on himself, so stinky that the devil gendarmes hurriedly ran away. Later, the enemy escorted Wang Qingzhi, the arrested secretary of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee, to his cell for confronting. Taking advantage of the Japanese police's inattention, he bit his hand and patted his heart, suggesting that Wang Qingzhi should not involve other comrades. Wang Qingzhi understood what he meant, and only admitted that they participated in the "Tongle Club" and had nothing to do with the Communist Party. The enemy did not get any evidence from Lang Tingchang, and because Wang and Lang had the same confession, they had to detain Lang Tingchang for six months and then release him. After being released from prison, Lang Tingchang returned to his hometown in Shandong and joined the Eighth Route Army and the Eighth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which advanced into Jiaodong, to participate in the struggle to open up the anti-Japanese base area in Jiaodong.

Lang Tingchang was very familiar with the Dalian area, and Zhao Shan, the commander of the Eighth Column, and Zhao Jiecai, the political commissar of the Eighth Column, transferred him to the main force and served as the political commissar of the Vanguard Cavalry Regiment of the whole column.

After Lang Tingchang and the regiment commander Yu Xia led the cavalry regiment to Chengzi Tuan, they glanced at Chengzi Tuan in the night, turned their heads and whispered to Chang Zhixiu: "This is Chengzi Tuan, which is the terminus of the Jinfu Railway. As long as you take here, you can take a direct train to the Golden State, which is 102 kilometers and can be reached in a maximum of three hours. To control Jinzhou was to control the South Manchurian Railway, completely cutting off the connection between Dalian and Lushun and the Japanese army in Shenyang. This is what the Japanese army did when they captured Lushun. Moreover, Jinzhou is only 33 kilometers away from Dalian, and Dalian is only more than 60 kilometers away from Lushun. ”

Yu Xia is a native of Jinzhai, Anhui Province, born in the Red Fourth Front Army, historically one of the cadres who returned to Yan'an after the Red Fourth Front Army's westward expedition, and fought with Liu Deng of the 129th Division during the Anti-Japanese War, the founding major general. Now history has changed, Yu Xia went to the Red Seventh Army after finishing the Red Army University, and after going north to resist Japan, he followed Zhao Shan and Zhao Jie to form the Eighth Brigade. He served as the commander of the cavalry battalion when he taught the Eighth Brigade to form a cavalry battalion, and now he has become the commander of the cavalry regiment.

Listening to Lang Tingchang's words, Yu Xia's eyes suddenly became extremely hot, and he spat lightly. Spit, rubbed it in the palm of his hand a few times, raised his saber suddenly, pointed forward, and shouted: "All of them, kill into the city, chop off the little devils for Lao Tzu!" ”

After roaring, he slapped the war horse and rushed to the city first!

At this time, the long-paced city is still asleep, and those devil policemen, gendarmes and officials are snoring in the bed! Only the devil sentries watched the searchlight and looked around with guns in the quiet of the night. Occasionally, a small patrol of devils wanders the streets.

Yu Xia is an old Red Army veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. The cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army are all selected combat backbones from the infantry, and they are all men who are constantly fighting with the little devils, with high tactical quality and strong will to fight. Blessed are the little devils stationed in the city, the Eighth Route Army's Eighth Column Cavalry Regiment has moved to the entrance of the town with cotton cloth wrapped in horses' hooves, and they have not yet realized it, and now they can taste the taste of moving their heads in their sleep.

The cavalry charged, and the earth trembled.

The devil sentries were alarmed, but they didn't understand that it was so late and they hadn't been notified, how could a large number of cavalry troops arrive in Chengzituan? Cavalry of this scale is only available in the 3rd Cavalry Brigade! The cavalry of the Manchurian Wehrmacht was not allowed to come to the city without permission.

It's no wonder that the devil sentinels are confused, think about how powerful the Japanese army and navy are now, the Soviets have been driven west of the Outer Khingan Mountains, the Yankees and the British have been surrendering in Southeast Asia, the American fleet at Pearl Harbor has been wiped out, and there is no opponent of the Japanese army in the huge Asia-Pacific region, where will there be enemies to attack Chengzituan?

The little devil was well-trained, and although the devil sentry didn't realize that it was the Eighth Route Army coming, he still turned the searchlight, pulled the bolt, and shouted the password very responsibly.

This question was purely to indicate the target to the sharpshooters of the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, and these sharpshooters immediately raised their guns and fired. After a few crisp sounds, the devil sentry died, and the searchlight went out.

The Eighth Column Cavalry Regiment rushed into Chengzituan Town, and a small Japanese patrol of 5 people collided head-on, all of whom were cut into headless ghosts by sabers. Immediately afterwards, the Eighth Route Army rushed into the station, post and telecommunications station, police station, military police detachment, civil affairs office, Jinfu railway garrison, and barracks of the Japanese garrison, all of which became the attack points of the Eighth Route Army. After the warriors rushed in, they jumped off their horses, pounced on them with their swords.

Rolling all over the ground are the round gurgling heads of Japanese soldiers!
