The Japanese troops besieged by the North Hulan River Bridge in Suihua failed to break through and were annihilated by the advance army. The advance army also suffered huge losses.
On the afternoon of July 28, the path was electrified and Hulan was restored.
The Hulan River is famous because of a book by Xiao Hong. Although "The Turning of the Hulan River" was not written until 1940, in Xiaolu's impression, Hulan is a place with a literary imprint.
Occupied the county town of Hulan in Suihua, captured three trains, and all the troops went south by car, without stopping for a moment, and sent troops to Harbin.
On the night of July 28, Xiaolu led Han Dengying and Wang Santai's troops to the bridgehead on the north bank of the Harbin River Bridge.
For the summer days were long, and it was past seven o'clock, and the night had not yet come. The sound of gunfire in the city of Harbin was dense, and the bridge was relatively calm here, and several bridgeheads vaguely saw that the Japanese were ready.
Xiao Lu Yong looked at the telescope for a while, and said: "Railway, the bridge is still in the hands of the Japanese devils, and it seems that there are not many defenders, which is very consistent with what the intelligence says." ”
Several other commanders also saw it and asked for battle.
At half past seven, the offensive began.
The three infantry guns were the first to open fire, blowing up the bridgehead pillbox on the north side, and then two more shells, and the courtyards of the two garrisons near the bridgehead were blown up. The vanguard shouted and rushed to the bridge to cross the river.
The troops had not yet reached the middle of the bridge, and opened fire from machine-gun positions on the opposite bank. Several of the people who rushed in front died, and the others hid behind the iron beams and couldn't move, couldn't raise their heads, and didn't even have a chance to shoot.
At this time, the soldiers on the bridge did not know who it was, and fired a shot, and the machine gun immediately fell silent. The other Japanese soldiers were killed when they had not yet come to shoot.
The fighters on the bridge shouted and rushed to the opposite bank. The bridgehead was soon occupied.
This section of the Songhua River is divided into three rivers and has three bridges. What they are now occupying is not the famous Harbin Bridge at all. After crossing the second bridge to the south, it is the Sun Island, and after the Sun Island, it is the Harbin Bridge that people say.
When Harbin was preparing to attack the bridge, Li Sen got in touch, and Li Sen had already sent a force of 100 people, riding in two carriages and a locomotive cart, to attack the bridge. The railway station had already been captured, and the locomotive was taken prisoner there.
When the train arrived at the southern position of the Harbin Bridge, the Japanese troops on the position felt that something was wrong and asked them to stop.
At the same time, two doors opened, and two infantry guns stretched out, and before the smoke cleared, they opened fire. Pillbox exploded.
By the end of the third wave of grenades, the people in the car rushed down, and ten minutes later, the position on the south bank of the Harbin Bridge was taken. At this time, the bridgehead position on the north side of the bridge also fell, and the people on both sides waved red flags, rushed to the bridge, and met in the middle of the bridge, with joy.
When the troops entered the urban area of Harbin, it was already past eight o'clock, and the sun had already set, and it was almost dark.
When Li Sen and Zhao Shangzhi's troops attacked Harbin, they sent small troops into the city from all different directions, Harbin was a very large city, and the Japanese garrison was very small, concentrated in important areas, such as stations, bridges, organs, barracks, checkpoints, and some important locations, such as the 731 unit, etc., there were no city fortifications at all.
So, the offense is sporadic,
Li Sen and Zhao Shangzhi's troops had already occupied most of Harbin at this time, and there were still several locations that had not been taken, the puppet Manchurian Harbin Special City Government Building, one was the puppet police department, the other was the Kwantung Army secret service and the Kwantung Army residence Harbin Headquarters and the Kwantung Army barracks, Unit 731 Headquarters, the Garrison Command and the puppet garrison barracks, the Jiangshang Army Headquarters and the Jiangshang Army station.
Zhao Shangzhi sent a unit to attack the enemy fortifications near the railway bridge, and joined Wang Santai with the bridgehead on the south bank of the railway bridge.
The person of the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was Guan Huaxin, the commander of the Second Division. Historically, he died in February 1938.
Now, because of the vigorous assistance of the advance army, the strength of the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance has increased much more than in history.
Historically, there were more than 6,000 people at the peak after 1936, of which only 1,500 were basic troops, and the rest were expanded troops.
The expanded troops are the expanded armed forces of all kinds, and these people are the weakest in combat effectiveness, and when the situation is bad, these people die and scatter.
Today, not only are there many reorganized troops, but there are also many basic troops, the entire Third Army has reached more than 10,000, there are not many of the 11 divisions, and not a single division commander who has defected in history has defected, and none of them have sacrificed. Of course, Zhang Lianke's team broke up at the beginning, defected to Yichun, and now he is Li Sen's deputy.
Guan Huaxin led a division of men, more than 1,000 people, because of the guns and explosives sent by the advance army, so there were not many deaths in the bombing bunker.
After the meeting, Xiaolu immediately went to see Li Sen and Zhao Shangzhi. Wang Santai and Guan Huaxin attacked the headquarters of the Jiangshang Army and the garrison of the Jiangshang Army in the area along the river, capturing the enemy as much as possible and capturing speedboats and gunboats. He drew a thousand people and ordered them to go to the bungalow first and surround the 731 unit of the Japanese army, and then he arrived.
Li Sen and Cho Sang-zhi are attacking the puppet police department.
The puppet police department Leessen had attacked it once, but now, it has changed, with a new fence and a large number of sandbags piled up into machine-gun bunkers.
The two saw Xiao Lu, and Zhao Shangzhi said, "Commander Lu, I can be regarded as seeing you." I'm not good at urban battles, and it's not going very well these days. It's good that you're here, you have the experience of Nanjing. ”
Li Sen said: "I'm going well here, but this Harbin is too big, and we don't have a lot of trouble at all, a pot of soup and a spoonful of salt are not enough."
Xiaolu said: "I have brought more than 4,000 people, some of whom have already arrived, and in addition, I have also brought two truckloads of ammunition. In this way, the two of you will introduce the situation in Harbin, and I will also understand the situation. ”
Zhao Shangzhi: "There is a brigade of devils, a brigade of the garrison, 2,000 police forces, and the Japanese temporarily armed 5,000 Japanese civilians, a total of 10,000 people. We have been fighting for three days, and now the police force and the puppet army have been basically wiped out. The puppet army is left with the Jiang Defense Army. At present, the devils occupy all major organs, and the Japanese armed civilians occupy many buildings, and the cold guns pose a great threat to us. ”
Li Sen: "The Japanese army was concentrated in a limited number of fortifications and was very tenacious. At present, the puppet army only has one building left at the brigade headquarters, and the police are left with only this building. The problem is that if we take down a place and take a bunch of prisoners, we have to occupy manpower, and the more we fight, the more insufficient our troops become. If you are not in the base area, and without the help of the militia, the battle will be very difficult to fight. ”
Xiaolu said: "The current big situation: the enemy has retreated from Xingshan, and has withdrawn about 5,000. The enemy is still moving puppet garrison troops from Xinjing, Fengtian, Jilin. The enemy in the direction of Baichengzi can't come, Qiqihar's can't come, and Suihua can't come. If the enemy is in a hurry, he may transport the enemy from Bei'an Town from Qiqihar here. At the moment, we are very badly damaged along the railway, and the enemy has to walk and march slowly. However, we don't have a few days left, so be quick. Otherwise, the enemy will come with 50,000 or 60,000 people, and if we are blocked in Harbin, it will be a fatal situation. ”
Li Sen: "Okay. Let's fight again and get a good grasp of the fortifications. These two thousand devil regular troops, even if they bite with their teeth, they have to bite down. ”
Xiaolu said: "One thing to note, this time, the underground personnel in Harbin must not be exposed. It's discipline. ”
July 29, Harbin.
The crowd rested, and the next morning, the battle began early.
Xiao Lu said: "I brought a secret weapon this time, you can try it now." He said to the two fighters: "Take it down, target the enemy's machine-gun position, blast the shell, and shoot a shot." ”
The two men took down a sack and took out a weapon from it, which was none other than a bazooka, a bazooka.
The two of them were very skillful in operation, aiming at the machine gun position at the gate of the police department, and with a bombardment on the ground, the machine gun position exploded with a bang.
The warriors cheered.
The two aimed at another machine-gun position and hit another shot. As soon as the machine gun position was finished, without waiting for Xiaolu to say anything, Zhao Shangzhi shouted loudly, and people rushed in.
Xiaolu said: "Li Sen, ask someone to lead us to the next stronghold." Take care to collect your documents and don't throw away a piece of paper. ”
Xiaolu took Bazooka and ran several positions, and everywhere he went, there was no disadvantage, and by noon, except for the Japanese barracks, all the buildings in the city were captured. On this morning, the Japanese occupation was rapidly compressed.
Bazooka is the second important achievement of the arsenal, Bazooka's blasting warhead does not need such a complex special metal, and it has been stepping up production in the past few days, Xiaolu brought all the dozens of them, and the city of Harbin went around and consumed more than 40 rounds.
Each time a shot was hit, the fighters who attacked the fortified cheered. With this weapon, the morale of the fighters was greatly boosted, but Xiao Lu's heart ached: this shot was ejected, and the match factory's profits were gone for half a day, which was still calculated according to the wholesale price of special warheads.
