*******************************************
The night of September 18, 1941 was destined to be a night of miracles.
After Liu Yimin led the southbound detachment to Wusongkou, he received a signal from Li Lingfeng. At this time, it can be said that Greater Shanghai has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and even if the Japanese puppet army in Shanghai is urgently mobilized at this time, it will definitely not be able to block the attack of the well-equipped first column and cavalry column.
Liu Yimin immediately ordered that a mixed artillery regiment composed of troops drawn from the artillery brigade and the air defense brigade that accompanied the ship to the south immediately go ashore at the Wusongkou wharf, hold Wusongkou, seize all the ships at the Wusongkou wharf and Baoshan wharf, and block the passage of ships from various wharves in Shanghai from entering and leaving the Yangtze River.
Immediately afterwards, the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron led by Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu, who controlled Wusongkou, re-boarded the patrol hall and the motorboat, and took the lead, guiding the fleet to ride the wind and waves in the Huangpu River and advance rapidly toward Shanghai.
The battle plan was drawn up a long time ago. Which troops will dock at which pier is predetermined. The flotilla traveled all the way, and there were non-stop troops coming ashore at the pier on the way. Carry out your own tasks.
The entire combat operation of the capture of Shanghai. Codename "Single Knife Straight In". From this name, we can know that the Eighth Route Army's attack on and occupation of Shanghai was not only different from the Battle of Songhu, but also different from the siege of ♀ Shanghai after our army crossed the river during the Liberation War in history. The sacrifice of the □ and the people to attack and occupy Shanghai this time was to seize the gap in the extremely empty strength of the Japanese defenders in Shanghai, and poke the Japanese army into the heart with a knife≡ but it was necessary to fight accurately, fiercely, fiercely, and quickly. It was to use the fleet to transport the troops directly to the Bund through the Huangpu River. After landing on the shore, he directly occupied the downtown area of Shanghai, and then developed to the outskirts of Shanghai, without giving the little devils any chance to resist. Even the suburbs of Shanghai do not necessarily fight, as long as the downtown area of Shanghai, the wharves, the warehouses, the barracks of the Japanese army, and the ammunition depots.
The fleet of the Eighth Route Army was so large that it blocked the channel of the Huangpu River as soon as it came up, and it was difficult to keep it secret. Ordinary ships thought that the Japanese fleet was advancing through Wusongkou to Shanghai. But in the eyes of the Japanese puppet spies, the situation was different ♀, and there was really an anti-smuggling ship of the Marine Police Regiment in Baoshan Port. The puppet soldiers first saw the fleet with the sun flag floating on the ship, then saw the long wooden boats and wooden rafts towing behind the warships and ships, and then saw the Eighth Route Army wearing Japanese military uniforms and began to seize the ships and goods on the docks. Among them, some hardcore traitors used the ship's radio to report to the Japanese puppet army, suspecting that the Eighth Route Army fleet had passed through Wusongkou and attacked Shanghai.
The reason why it is suspicious is because the Japanese military flag is planted on the fleet, and the soldiers on the ship are all wearing Japanese military uniforms, including the Japanese soldiers who went to seize the ships and goods, and they all speak Japanese, and the hardcore traitors of the Marine Police Corps are not sure whether they are the Eighth Route Army or not.
It is also strange to say that the Eighth Route Army is in North China, so far away from Shanghai, but the first thing that the puppet army thinks of is that the Eighth Route Army is coming to attack Shanghai. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, the Shandong Eighth Route Army led by Liu Yimin has a brilliant record, and the Japanese puppet army in Shanghai usually loves to be foolish when they have nothing to do, thinking about whether the Eighth Route Army that attacked Tianjin and Qingdao will also come to attack Shanghai.
When the specious reports of the Eighth Route Army fleet's passing through Wusongkou were reported to the commander of the 13th Army, Shigeru Sawada, and the chief of staff, Yasuo Tangchuan, these two guys were still not convinced, and hurriedly ordered the garrison troops in the strongholds along the Huangpu River to find out the situation.
Shigeru Sawada was transferred from the position of deputy chief of staff to the commander of the 13th Army, and Yasuo Karakawa was transferred from the position of chief of the strategy section of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters to the chief of ♀ staff of the 13th Army, both of whom were one of the think tanks of the Japanese army in launching the war of aggression against China.
However, there were many Japanese intelligence agencies in Shanghai, and they were accustomed to competing for merit and inviting ♀ some guys on weekdays, with a keen sense of smell and a wide eyeliner, so naturally they also received information that suspected that the Eighth Route Army fleet had passed through Wusongkou, and reported it layer by layer. Fumima Konoe, Motomo Sugigi, and Hideki Tojo obtained this information through the intelligence system of the General Staff Headquarters and reported it to the Emperor. It's just that when they reported to Emperor Hirohito, it was no longer a suspicion that the Eighth Route Army fleet had passed through Wusongkou, but that the Eighth Route Army had entered downtown Shanghai.
Shiliupu Wharf is the largest wharf in Shanghai and even in the Far East. The autumn weather in September is crisp, it is the busy time of the Yangtze River waterway, and it is the time when the whistle is blowing and the porter's horn is wafting, but now the 16-shop wharf that is shaking under the iron hooves of the Japanese army is not dead, and the lights on the wharf are like ghost fires.
As early as the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, a street market was gradually formed on the shore, where fishermen, salt farmers, and farmers often exchanged goods and drank and gathered. However, it was not until the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years of the Qing Dynasty that the place name "Sixteen Pu" appeared. At that time, in order to
To defend against the attack of the Taiping Army, local officials in Shanghai County set up a regimental training organization, and established a kind of joint leopard defense organization for the businesses inside and outside the county seat of Shanghai, named "Pu", which was responsible for public security in the area. The original plan was to divide it into 27 shops, but for various reasons, only 16 shops were actually divided. The 16 shops are the largest of the 16 shops, covering a vast area outside the big east gate of Shanghai County to Chenghao in the west, Huangpu River in the east, Xiaodongmen Street in the north and the French Concession in the north, and Wanyu Wharf Street and Wangjia Wharf Street in the south. In 1909, Shanghai County implemented local autonomy, and the names of each shop were cancelled and disappeared. Because the 16th shop is located in the most lively Huangpu River in Shanghai Port. Domestic passenger and freight routes are concentrated here, and there are many wharves. The traffic is huge. Travelers and Shanghai residents have been called this place by word of mouth, and the sixteenth shop has been fixed.
Before the Northern Expedition, Shiliupu was the shipping center and commercial center of Shanghai. Dozens of large and small wharves along the river are lined with sails, and wholesale stores such as silver buildings, leather goods, seafood, ground goods, cotton cloth, and medicinal materials are lined up one after another. At the end of the spectrum is bustling. After the Northern Expedition, Shanghai's commercial center gradually moved north. Many large shops, silver buildings, and money houses were mobilized to move into the concession, and the prosperous scene in the 16th shop area was slightly reduced. In particular, after the two wars of the 128 Incident and the 813 Incident, many shops in the 16 Pu area were bombed into ruins. Merchants flocked to the concession. The sixteenth shop is a little dilapidated.
Wu Jiguang, the person in charge of the ** Intelligence Department in Shanghai, led a few agents to the China Merchants Wharf of the 16th Shop early, and lurked, looking forward to the arrival of the Eighth Route Army fleet soon.
At ten o'clock in the evening, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the direction of the Wusong River. As soon as Wu Jiguang heard it, he knew that it was the Japanese army that discovered that the Eighth Route Army had reached the upper core, and the two armies began to fight.
Wu Jiguang's heart tightened. I don't know if the flotilla that was originally scheduled to land in the direction of Sixteen Pu will be able to arrive on time.
Wu Jiguang's judgment was very accurate, and the gunfire coming from the direction of the Wusong River was indeed an exchange of fire between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army. However, at this time, the Eighth Route Army, which had entered the Wusong River from the Huangpu River and attacked the Japanese-controlled Hongqiao Airport, the Marine Corps Airport, and the Japanese-controlled area of the Public Concession, had already landed. The cavalry of Isshiki rushed quickly along the wide road, and it was clear that they were going to attack the Japanese airfield and the headquarters of the 13th Army.
Just in Wu Jiguang's eager anticipation, the lights of the Eighth Route Army's fleet pierced the night sky and rushed towards the 16th shop. Wu Jiguang's heart finally let go.
At this time, the Huangpu River case was already in chaos. It's just that Shanghai is the rear of the Japanese army, and in order to whitewash the peace and maintain the deformed prosperity of Shanghai, the Japanese army did not set up a stronghold in a commercial center like Shiliupu, and only stationed police and gendarmes to maintain law and order ♀ for a while. Only the policemen on duty shouted and shouted indiscriminately, desperately reporting to their superiors on the phone: The Eighth Route Army has entered the upper nuclear!
The fleet of the Eighth Route Army, which had arrived at the 16th Shop, docked. Docked at the China Merchants Wharf were warships and ships carrying armored regiments, automobiles, and armored vehicles. Because China Merchants is a wharf, all of which are iron-faced and ironclad wharves, which are suitable for docking warships and freighters.
The first to go ashore were Li Lingfeng, a patrol boat and a motorboat, and the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron and the No. 1 Sniper Squadron led by Wang Laohu. As soon as he saw Wu Jiguang and took over, Li Lingfeng said to Wu Jiguang: "My task is to knock out the Japanese army's intelligence agency, gendarmerie agency and Wang Puppet No. 76 headquarters in Shanghai. The task of the Shanghai Secret Service Department is to show me the way, but you can't expose it, just sit in the car and show the way. ”
When Wu Jiguang heard this, he immediately said: "We are ready, each squadron is equipped with one person, and each squadron has a key goal." ”
Immediately afterwards, Wu Jiguang suggested to Li Lingfeng that Shanghai was a large area and the speed of marching on foot was slow, so it was better to wait for the vehicles to come ashore and move forward in a car to prevent the spies from escaping.
Li Lingfeng waved his hand: "Can't wait!" Detain and requisition all vehicles found along the way! ”,
After speaking, Li Lingfeng ordered Wang Laohu to lead the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron to set off immediately.
Cheng Hesheng, who was behind Wu Jiguang, flashed out and led Wang Laohu and the first squadron away.
Soon, the other two special operations squadrons and two sniper squadrons led by Wang Tongsheng, political commissar of the special operations command, who arrived by boat, went ashore, and Li Lingfeng immediately ordered all squadrons to go into battle and follow the comrades of the intelligence section.
The decks of the bow of the renovated warships and ships have been turned into temporary bridges that can be retracted and retracted, and on the wharf, tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles roared onto the riverbank, heading towards the city of Shanghai at night.
After Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong, Gao Yuan, Cheng Cuilin, and Zhou Yi went ashore, they directly set up their headquarters in the China Merchants Building and began to command the troops to clear out the Japanese puppet army in downtown Shanghai.
