July 23, 1942, Wicker Hutong, Yu Jingtao's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The clock was back to three o'clock in the morning.

Yu Jingtao is now at home, and his position is the Minister of People's Livelihood.

Since he was transferred to Changchun in 1936 as the puppet Manchukuo police chief, Xiao Lu forced him to become an insider. Later, under the vigorous operation of the underground network of Xiaolu, the entire puppet Manchurian police system was planted with people. Yu Jingtao knew that these people were all underground parties.

From 1940 to 1942, he was transferred to the puppet Binjiang governor, in early 1942 to the puppet Fengtian governor, and soon to the minister of the Ministry of People's Livelihood. However, by this time, the war was already very tense.

In the past few days, the puppet Manchurian ministers all wanted to run, but they had no chance at all, the railway resources were in the hands of the Japanese, and a large number of Japanese dignitaries fled to Korea and Vladivostok by car, but these traitors had no chance.

The traitors were in a panic all day long, and they connected with each other to find the Japanese to dredge up. The Japanese finally decided that they could begin their retreat on the night of July 2, including the Emperor of Manchukuo and his ministers, to obey the arrangement.

The ministers had the most confidence in their hearts about Yu Jingtao, because a few days ago, the underground party found him and ordered him to contact all the old police units in Changchun to prepare for an uprising.

The puppet Manchurian police system in Changchun had about 3,000 people, and several police stations were Yu Jingtao's old department. Yesterday, they had already held a meeting at Jing Tao's house and decided to revolt, although everyone was in the office. And in the name of maintaining law and order, all the pseudo-police officers go to the various sub-stations of the police station.

At half past two in the morning, Yu Jingtao left Wicker Hutong in a car with a man wearing a peaked cap, and arrived at the police headquarters at almost three o'clock in the morning.

In the courtyard of the police headquarters, the house was full of police, and they were very nervous. Most of the police officers only had short guns, some had no guns, and had batons in their hands. When the policemen saw him coming, they seemed to have a backbone.

There were already two dozen people waiting for him in the conference room in the police station.

Yu Jingtao walked to the conference room, sat down and said, "Colleagues, I won't talk about the current situation, I have decided to lead everyone to revolt." Whoever doesn't want to join the uprising, please leave your guns behind and stay in the little guard room for a while. I eat and drink well, I will definitely not treat you badly, and after the recovery of Changchun, I will hand you over to the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army to deal with. What they do with you is not something I can control. If the uprising is sabotaged, there is no mercy left to kill. ”

A humane: "Can Xinjing be recovered?" ”

Yu Jingtao looked at the cap next to him.

The cap stood up and said, "Changchun has gathered 50,000 Japanese defenders, most of whom are located in the south, west, and north of the city. There were only gendarmes and a small number of guards in the city. In Liaoyang, our army used aircraft, tanks, and the most advanced weapons in the world, causing nearly 40,000 Japanese casualties at once. This time, we are still using these weapons on these three positions. In addition, our army has gathered 100,000 troops outside the city, and by now we can tell you that the road left to the east is only a trap. From Changchun to the border, we have countless troops waiting for us. Now, your only way out is an uprising. The treatment of the uprising was not the same as the treatment of the captives. I guarantee in the name of our commander-in-chief that we are the talk. ”

The other said: "We used to do it for the devil, will we liquidate?" ”

The cap said: "Uprising, killing devils, this credit is enough to be worth a great sin." I know that there are no hardcore traitors among you, and those hardcore traitors have already run away with Pu Jie. The revolt is a huge credit, and we will not blame the past. In the future, you will be liberated, and you will need to work for the new government. ”

One said: "It's done." I am willing to follow the commander in the uprising. Five or six others agreed, and then the others agreed.

The cap said: "This is the uprising electrification, if you are willing to revolt, please sign." ”

Yu Jingtao signed first. Others signed up.

The cap said, "You have revolted!" Welcome! We're our own people. Next, the newly established Changchun City Police Chief Yu Jingtao arranged the task. ”

Everyone was quiet, their old chief was the chief of the Changchun City Police Department, and they had nothing to hesitate about.

Yu Jingtao said: "Our task is to attack most of the Japanese gendarmerie after the general offensive starts in the early morning. The remainder is maintained in Changchun. The main target was the Japanese concentration area, and if the Japanese helped the Japanese in the battle, they could be annihilated. ”

The cap looked at his watch and said, "The explosion is about to start." ”

Less than ten seconds later, the bombardment began.

Yu Jingtao said: "Everyone, go back to your branch immediately, and when you go back, call me immediately and wait for my order." ”

The crowd left.

At half past three, Yu Jingtao said to the phone: "I declare that we are uprising. I order you to tie a white towel on your right arm, quickly occupy all buildings, protect the common people, protect state property, protect documents and archives, and shoot at the Japanese military police who dare to attack. Brethren, how many years of anger we have endured, today we can take revenge. ”

Yu Jingtao had already prepared 500 policemen to attack the Japanese military police. The gendarmerie corps turned out to be more than 500 people, intelligence said that more than 300 of them left, and only about 100.

Later, Yu Jingtao had to mobilize all the police to attack, and the fighting was not over after the large army entered the city, but the police were killed and wounded, resulting in the lack of law and order forces.

During the attack, the police discovered that the gendarmerie consisted of more than 500 organized Japanese soldiers and civilians in the countryside.

After capturing the gendarmerie, the police pursued the Japanese armed civilians everywhere, and there was no one to maintain law and order in Changchun.

At half past three in the morning, the general offensive began.

The general attack began in the northwest of Changchun, and with the tactics of one point and two sides, ninety percent of the siege forces were concentrated in the northwest.

At half past three in the morning, the military police found that the Kwantung Army headquarters could not be contacted, so they came to check, and when they entered the gate, they were hit by bullets fired from the building.

The gendarmes soon arrived to reinforce them.

At half past four in the morning, the battle to defend the headquarters of the Kwantung Army began.

The Japanese army came back and forth with five or six hundred people. There were no trees around the Kwantung Army headquarters, and there was no shelter. The gendarmes who had come to attack rushed desperately towards the building, and were suppressed by the bullets fired from the gate and several windows, and they fell to the ground one after another, behind the road.

At this time, in the dense gunfire, a few sporadic gunshots were remembered.

Gunfire came from the top floor of the Kwantung Army headquarters. Sporadic gunshots, every time they go off, someone is bound to be killed. Because the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground in the north direction, they were all shot in the back.

These are the five snipers arranged by Li Shun. They chose several locations upstairs and fired freely.

After a few dozen minutes, more than 200 Japanese military police were killed by snipers.

In this way, the blocking battle of the headquarters continued until dawn. After daybreak, the Japanese army launched a wave of hundreds of men, and was routed in less than half an hour.

July 23 at eight a.m.

The fierce battle outside the city continued.

At this time, the puppet army of 8,000 in the city also revolted.

Like the rebel police, they also wore white towels around their right arms.

The tasks of the tasks of the rebel puppet army were different, and their goal was the Kwantung Army barracks.

The rebel puppet army dispatched a large force to attack several barracks in the west of Dayingdeng. The battle began, and the pressure on the Kwantung Army command was suddenly relaxed. Soon, the Japanese troops around the Kwantung Army headquarters were all settled.

The sporadic Japanese military police in the city have been wiped out, and a few have been blocked at the station.

The rebel puppet army made an all-out attack on the western camp.

At nine o'clock in the morning, with the help of small units entering the city, the gendarmerie broke through, and the police force was stationed in the area where the Japanese were concentrated, pursuing and arming Japanese civilians. Japanese civilians armed with guns, in groups of three or five, led by a few veterans, fought urban guerrilla warfare with the police.

Ten o'clock in the morning. There was chaos in the building of the Ministry of People's Livelihood of the puppet Manchurian government.

There were no troops here, and last night the Japanese, who were deputy ministers, issued an order not to return home, and they were here overnight to sort out documents and burn them on the spot.

Everyone began to sort out the documents under the pistols of several Japanese clerks. Most of the ordinary staff are locals, and a small number are Taiwanese. Everyone grinded, didn't work hard or seriously, worked all night, and finally piled up the documents at the gate. Two Japanese clerks stared at the gate, shouting and drinking. Suddenly, a staff member noticed something and said, "Where did the others go?" Why are there only the two of us? ”

The other said, "You won't run away, will you?" ”

The first: "No, if you want to run, you must pass through the gate." They are Japanese and will not run! I'll go upstairs and take a look. As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he only heard a whining, and he felt a blow in his head, and he didn't know anything. The Japanese clerk downstairs heard it, ran up to the second floor, saw where the three men were standing, and he realized that something was wrong and was about to shoot. The three men took the lead and fired in unison.

By noon, the underground party leaders and staff of the various organs rioted, and almost all of them were taken over.

July 23 at 1 p.m.

Inside the city, the western camp was breached, and the rebel puppet army launched an attack on the Japanese army in the northwest of the city. The Japanese army was already unable to bear the strength, and under the attack of Zhao Shangzhi, Lu Zhengcao, Wang Renzhi, Wu Fugui and others, the position was retreating one after another.

After the Japanese troops transporting ammunition from the munitions depot were completely annihilated, the Japanese troops could not hold out anymore and retreated en masse to the east of the city.

July 23 at 2 p.m.

The rebel puppet army and the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army triumphantly joined forces. The large army quickly divided its troops, all the way to the south, all the way to the north, and followed the rebel troops all the way into Changchun City.

July 23 at 7 p.m.

Changchun was fully occupied.

July 25th.

About 1,000 Japanese troops in the north of the city fled eastward and joined the fleeing Japanese army. The Japanese army south of the city was completely annihilated. This was the last group of Japanese troops to flee. So far, Changchun has recovered.

Wang Renzhi and Wu Fugui reorganized the troops and killed Jilin. Zhao Shangzhi rode to Tonghua.

Lu Zhengcao's unit fought bravely, and this battle established prestige in all units in the northeast. After the victory, a part of the rebel troops took the train in the direction of Suifenhe, leaving 2,000 to be reorganized into a garrison.

Before Wang Renzhi arrived in Jilin City, the news had already come that the Jilin Column had recovered Jilin City.

Wang Renzhi and Wu Fugui passed through Jilin City, chased the train of the fleeing Japanese army, and ran in the direction of the Suifen River.

On July 25, Changchun was recovered, and the telegram was sent to Yan'an, and Yan'an was jubilant, and it was sent to Chongqing, and Chongqing was jubilant. Soon, first, people from all over Kunming and Guiyang took to the streets. The spirit of the whole country was lifted.
