Chapter 258: The Communist Party is bound to sit on the throne

October 12, 1938. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Yichun.

Yichun got the latest news that the Japanese army had raided Guangzhou. As in history, the Japanese army landed from Daya Bay, and it was the 21st Army Corps that landed, commanded by General Guzhuang Ganlang, and everything was the same as in history, and it was the same as the news released by Xiaolu.

In September 1938, the Japanese army decided to attack Guangzhou. In early October, the 5th, 18th, and 104th Divisions under the command of the Japanese 21st Army set out from Qingdao, Shanghai, and Dalian respectively and arrived at Penghu to assemble and stand by, in an attempt to land at Daya Bay and capture Guangzhou. Units of the 12th Group Army of the 4th Theater of Operations of China were concentrated on the line from Daya Bay to Guangzhou and on the east bank of the Pearl River. On October 9, the main flotilla of the Japanese 21st Army set off and arrived at Daya Bay in Guangdong on the evening of October 11.

In the early morning of October 12, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army landed on the left side of Daya Bay and in the area of Shrimp Chung, the area of Yanzaobei, the area of the glass factory, and Aotou. The defenders resisted and abandoned the city that night and retreated.

After the Japanese landing, they immediately advanced to Huizhou and other places; On the 12th, Pinghai was occupied; On the 13th, they captured Pingshan, Minoru, and Jilong; On the 14th, Hengli was occupied.

On the evening of October 14, the Japanese army launched an attack on Huizhou; On the 15th, Huizhou fell. On the 16th, after the Japanese captured Boluo, the main force broke through to Zengcheng; The Hechuan detachment made a big detour from Huizhou to Guangzhou.

On October 17, the two sides fought fiercely on the front line of Zengcheng Boluo. On the morning of the 19th, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army arrived in Zengcheng. The Chinese army retreated that night, and Zengcheng was lost.

On October 20, the Japanese 18th Division launched a full-scale offensive, and the roundabout troops and the Sichuan detachment attacked Conghua and Huaxian in an attempt to cut off the connection between Guangzhou and Shaoguan. The 4th Theater withdrew the main force to northern Guangdong and defended Guangzhou with one section.

On October 21, the Japanese army occupied the urban area of Guangzhou. By October 29, the Japanese army had reached the southern outskirts of Guangzhou and took control of Guangzhou and nearby important places. The entire campaign lasted only seventeen days.

As in history, on October 10, Lao Jiang got the news. After judging it, he thought that this was a smokescreen of the Japanese army, and this was a trick of the Guangdong warlords. In order to disperse his military strength in the Battle of Wuhan, the warlords of Guangzhou were concerned about his military expenses.

He did the opposite, sending a telegram asking Yu Hanmou to transfer another division to the Wuhan battlefield.

Lao Jiang is a person with a lot of character. People he doesn't like, even if you have a good idea, my old Jiang won't implement it, and he will do the opposite. Let's have character.

The Battle of Guangzhou was another turning point in the Chinese battlefield, and since then, the situation of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has become even worse, Japan's all-out offensive posture has been fully formed, and the material channels in the Guangdong area have been interrupted, further increasing the difficulties.

The only difference from history is that when a Guangdong warlord unit was fighting against the Japanese army and the 12th Group Army, a small unit carried out a sneak attack on the Japanese army's logistics, which made the Japanese army's attack more difficult. This small unit immediately waved the banner of the Guangdong advance team of the New Fourth Army and fought with the Japanese army.

Xiao Lu got the news, and his first thought was to speculate on how Lao Jiang felt. He released the news that the Japanese were going to attack Guangdong in the newspaper with great fanfare in advance, and Lao Chiang did not listen, but now that it has become a fact, Lao Chiang will most likely be annoyed and angry, but what will the people in the south think?

October 15, 1938. Jiamusi.

Yi Chun sent a telegram to the Japanese army three days earlier, asking for the exchange of prisoners, and the exchange of more than 200 prisoners for the anti-United Nations fighters and the families of the anti-Japanese alliances captured in these battles, including Xie Wendong's family.

Yichun had a channel of contact with the Kwantung Army, that is, those Japanese prisoners who had been captured before, and those officers who could send telegrams.

The Kwantung Army Command attached great importance to it and raised the price, and if Xie Wendong's family was included, it asked for a thousand people to come back.

Both sides are very sincere, and all that remains is to bargain. In the end, Yichun exchanged Wubai Japanese for more than 200 prisoners of the Anti-Japanese Federation. The handover was held in Lianjiangkou Town, on the other side of Jiamusi.

Among the Wubai Japanese, some of the captured soldiers were captured and most of the ordinary Japanese captured in Harbin. Yi Chun said that if you exchange the merchants in Harbin, you can exchange food, gold, and arms, or a merchant can exchange a few prisoners. Of course, the demand for food in exchange for prisoners has not been relented.

Although the Kwantung Army agreed to exchange prisoners, and they really exchanged them, they still played a trick, such as Xie Wendong's grandson did not return it, and in addition, they also mixed a large number of renegade anti-United Nations personnel into it and sent them back.

Because Yichun insisted on exchanging food, the Kwantung Army gradually formed the impression that Yichun was short of food.

October 16, 1938. Yichun.

Xie Wendong saw his family and had mixed feelings. Happily, except for the wife who was killed, the others have returned. However, the eldest grandson did not return.

Xiao Lu specially brought a fish to Xie Wendong's residence to congratulate his family on the reunion.

Xie Wendong said: "Commander Lu, I lied before, and at that time, people arrested my family, and I couldn't help it." You must not go to your heart. ”

Xiaolu said: "Are all your family members back?" ”

Xie Wendong hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that we have to tell the truth." I also have a grandson, who is still in the hands of the Japanese. ”

Xiaolu said: "If you had said it earlier, I would have mentioned it to the Japanese." It's also too passive. Commander Xie, you should trust us. ”

Xie Wendong's face was blue for a while, purple for a while, and said, "Commander Lu." You are a great benefactor of my family. I will fight against Japan well in the future and repay your kindness. If you have two hearts, you can't die well. ”

He knew in his heart that there was nothing he couldn't do if this Commander Lu wanted to do. It's very intimate to help himself, but if he really rebels, he will become his nemesis, and he will definitely kill himself.

Xiao Lu said: "Since you listen to my arrangement, I have such three." First, your Eighth Army should carry out ideological rectification and begin political study as a whole. Second, the Eighth Army had to send a large number of political commissars. You personally left the Eighth Army and became deputy mayor in Yichun. Third, the task of the Eighth Army in the future is to abandon the frontal battle with the enemy and specialize in fighting devils. As for the equipment, this is not a problem. Your grandson, I'll find another way to get another batch of prisoners. ”

Xie Wendong said: "I'm really convinced. If the Communist Party has people like you, it will definitely be able to sit on the throne. ”

Xiaolu said: "There are at least 800 people like me. ”

Xie Wendong whispered: "I heard that the rations were insufficient, so I released the prisoners, right?" ”

Xie Wendong seemed to have some unappreciation, because he had heard a lot of gossip that the North Koreans were coming, and Yichun had not enough food, and everyone's rations had been reduced. Releasing the captives is nothing more than saving food.

Xiao Lu was a little displeased, but he didn't show it, and said: "I release the captives, it is a policy that has been set a long time ago, but what I want to exchange for is a new decision, and it is completely our recent decision to exchange for your child." In order to get your children back, I will take a few more captives, and I will also change them. ”

Xie Wendong was a little embarrassed and said, "I have received Commander Lu's wishes." I will definitely follow Commander Lu well in the future. ”

Xiaolu said: "In the future, Commander Xie still needs to go to various places to have a look, even to the Soviet Union." ”

Except for Xie Wendong himself, his family members are grateful to Xiaolu in their hearts. Xie Wendong's son took the initiative to find the path and admitted that he had been moved by others to persuade his father to surrender to the Japanese in exchange for the family's life. Xiao Lu suppressed this matter, just wrote a document and handed it to the security department for the record.

Two days later, Yi Chun exchanged the price of three Japanese merchants for Xie Wendong's grandson. Xie Wendong was completely convinced this time, and when he saw his grandson who got out of the car, tears flowed.

Most of the soldiers of the Eighth Army, including those relatives of Xie Wendong and those who participated in the Tulongshan riots, were very grateful to Xiaolu and Yichun. It can be said that knowing today, Xiaolu has gained respect and authority in this team.

Xiaolu not only sent a group of people to Japan, but also completely solved Xie Wendong's problem. He wrote a report on the whole thing and handed it to northern Shaanxi, who read the report and praised it.

The exchange of prisoners went smoothly. After more than a month, Yichun returned more than 5,000 prisoners in exchange for more than 1,000 people, plus rations for several hundred people. The Kwantung Army preferred to be replaced rather than given food.

Yichun is censoring the people who have returned from the exchange, and the Kwantung Army is also censoring. The Kwantung Army did not miss this opportunity and examined everyone who was released, asking them to tell their own experiences, the experiences of people they knew, their impressions of Yichun and relevant information.

It is a pity that the people who were released were carefully selected, and these people lived on the same trajectory, prisoner of war camps, prisoner of war farms, factories, road construction, tree cutting.

All the captives had said one thing, and that was that the amount of food rations for all had been drastically reduced since they were released. Although the autumn harvest has just ended, this year is a good year. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of a small number of people in the General Staff of the Kwantung Army.

After more than a month of examination, there was really nothing to be examined, but I was not at ease with them, so I repatriated them to their home countries and released them to the people. The people who put the ** room are gradually returning to Japan.

That's an afterword.

The Kwantung Army knew a lot about Yichun from the released prisoners, and through the fact that the Yichun people had secret weapons in their troops, the Kwantung Army Headquarters decided that Yichun was already the territory of the Soviet Union, and it could not crusade against them like a crusade against the Anti-Japanese Union.

October 16, 1938. Yichun.

On this day, Xiaolu received news that the eight women did throw themselves into the river, but the lives of the eight of them were saved.

It was Wang Renzhi who brought the news to Xiaolu, and he also saved the people.

Xiaolu didn't expect that the action of calling Wang Renzhi to rescue the Anti-Japanese Federation triggered a series of fierce battles.

******

1. When the Eighth Army was established, Liu Shuhua, a member of the Communist Party who was sent, served as the director of the Political Department of the Army, and Yu Cangshi served as the chief of staff.

2. Liu Shuhua was killed by traitors on August 22, 1938. It can be seen that there were many mutinies in the Eighth Army at that time.

3, Yu Cangshi's later whereabouts have not been found. This article assumes that when the two were killed by the traitors, they were rescued by the advance team.

4, Kazuo Fukuma, was a prisoner of the Japanese army in Yang Jingyu's troops, and later, he participated in the Anti-Japanese Federation and died in the battle against the Japanese.
