After the start of the First Battle of Changsha, the Yue army began to launch a frantic attack on our army's defense line. On September 16, the 27th Division of the Yue Army, which had rushed to Ruichang from along the Nanxun Railway, joined the battle south of the 9th Division and began an attack in the direction of Wuning.

At first, the army was three arrows at once, and the front was quite sharp. On 14 September, the Hatian Brigade occupied the previously unattainable town of Wharf on the riverside, and then advanced towards Fuchikou. The 9th Division of the Middle Road also attacked the Loess Bridge and the first line of Brain Mountain about 24 kilometers west of Ruichang by the 15th. The 27th Division on the South Road immediately advanced to the Henggangwan area, 25 kilometers southwest of Ruichang, on the 18th.

The headquarters of the 11th Army in Jiujiang was in a state of euphoria. The battle reports from the front were full of "our troops are progressing well," "the imperial army is unstoppable," "the enemy in front of him is showing signs of retreat, and his command is out of order," and so on. The commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji, got carried away with joy and gave the order to pursue the troops advancing westward.

However, the anti-Japanese activities that appeared in Jiujiang and its vicinity had seriously affected the conduct of the battle, and the leaders of the Yue army were very worried. These rebels are very cunning, and their goal is very clear, which is to try to disrupt their own supply lines of communication, delay and hinder their own movements, and cooperate with [***] operations. So far, their sabotage has achieved certain goals. For this reason, the enemy's command strictly ordered all the attacking units advancing westward to strictly defend themselves and to destroy the anti-Japanese elements who launched the attack at any time, so that their actions could not be delayed.

On the order of Okamura Ninji, on the night of September 14, the army launched a pincer attack in northern Jiangxi. The 106th Division invaded from the west of Fengxin and Jing'an with the main force to the 18th, successively occupying Huibu, Shangfu, Cunqian Street and other places, threatening the left side of Gao'an. At the same time, the Saeda detachment of the 101st Division attacked from the large town northeast of Gao'an to Xiangfuguan, occupied Xiangfuguan, and continued to approach Gao'an. Due to Xiao Xiong's sabotage actions delayed the enemy's attack on our army, by the 19th, the [***] squadron took the initiative to abandon Gao'an and retreated to the south bank of the Jinjiang River. On the 20th, the army covered the left side of the back with one section, and the main force entered the vicinity of Xiushui and Sandu, cutting off the back road of the 30th Group Army and the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border advance army. After the main force of the 106th Division of the Chinese Army joined up with the Sachi detachment at Gao'an, the Sazhi detachment carried out defensive operations in the southwest area of Fengxin, and drove to Wuning with one brigade, while the main force assembled near Shangfu Town and prepared to advance westward.

On the 23rd, the main force of the 106th Division of the Yue Army began to move westward in the direction of Xiushui. In the following two or three days, the left column of the Yue army captured Shangfu, Hengqiao, and Ganfang. The right column of the army advanced through Jiuxiantang and Shawoli to the Huangsha Bridge southeast of Xiushui, and was surrounded and intercepted by the new 15th Division of the 72nd Army.

At this time, Xiao Xiong's anti-enemy special force in northern Jiangxi received an urgent order from their superiors, asking their troops to rush to the mountainous areas of western Ruichang and Wuning in the eastern section of Mufu Mountain in the shortest possible time, waiting for an opportunity to disrupt the enemy's movements, delay their attack on northwest Jiangxi, and gain more precious time for our troops to counterattack the enemy.

After receiving the order, Xiao Xiong immediately took action, leading all the more than 400 people except the intelligence group, and rushed to the dock town of Ruichang on the Yangtze River on September 18.

The wharf town is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it is opposite the important Yangtze River port of Wuxue in Hubei. Therefore, its strategic position is very important, it is an important waterway from Ruichang and northwest Jiangxi to Hubei and Wuhan. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the army's attempt to occupy the town never materialized. It was not until the 14th that the pier was occupied under the attack of heavy troops. Our troops were forced to retreat to the Makufu Mountains.

According to information from the intelligence group, after the army occupied the port town on 14 July, it directly transported some of the materials and personnel that had been transported to Jiujiang to the port town, which not only shortened the transportation time, but also avoided being attacked by the Jiujiang anti-Japanese elements. In the past few days, the various wharves in Wharf Town have been a busy scene, large and small ships are moored on the riverside, people come and go on the ships and wharves, and the materials transported from all over the wharf are piled up on the wharf.

However, the guards of the devils are very tight, and all people entering and leaving the dock have to be searched and checked, and it is difficult for any boat to approach the dock without the permission and guidance of the devils on the motorboats patrolling the river. This may be the reason why Xiao Xiong scared the devils in Jiujiang.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the devils, Xiao Xiong's troops disguised themselves as various characters and entered the dock town and its nearby villages one after another in the early morning of the 18th, among which the status of refugees was the most. Therefore, Xiao Xiong quickly divided the troops after everyone settled down. The first task of this operation was to disrupt the enemy's supplies, and the best way was to blow up the enemy's docks and the supplies on them, delay the enemy's supply of ammunition and supplies to the enemy advancing westward, and buy time for our army to prepare for the campaign. Therefore, except for the members of the fourth squad who entered the wharf as porters, took up reconnaissance tasks, and searched for fighters, the water guerrillas and the Jiangxin guerrillas actively searched for fighters on the Yangtze River, and the rest of the squads were stationed along the road leading to the wharf, and they personally commanded Minghua's hunter team to make a general maneuver, and as soon as the operation on the wharf was launched, they immediately cooperated with the action of the fourth squad to blow up the materials on the wharf and the transport ships docked at the riverside. After the battle began, the troops along the highway actively cooperated, attacked and harassed the enemy, delayed the enemy's reinforcement operation on the pier, and temporarily cut off the enemy's contact with the pier as much as possible to ensure the success of the operation.

Moreover, once the operation was over, all the troops were not allowed to fight, and quickly withdrew to the town of Zhaochen in the mountainous area, where they assembled and prepared to carry out the next move in the mountainous area.

At night, Hong Min, the leader of the fourth squad who came out of the dock, reported to Xiao Xiong the details of the situation on the dock. In order to prevent attack, after they occupied it, they drove out all the people who originally lived near the dock, and burned down all their houses, so that an open field of several hundred meters was formed in the middle of the dock and the town, and a sentry post was stationed and a barbed wire fence was built. There are several devil patrol boats on the river, and among them there is a larger motorboat. Each patrol boat has a squad of devils, and one of the larger motorboats has a squad of devils stationed on it.

The security on the dock is even stricter, and the devils have built barracks in the docks, in which there are devils who have a reinforced squadron, and the headquarters of the Hatata Brigade where the devils are stationed in the town, there are more devils. Such a defense added too much difficulty to Xiao Xiong's plan to blast the dock, and it was almost flawless.

Xiao Xiong and everyone made a careful and careful study of the enemy's defense, and finally made a decision that Xiao Xiong would personally lead a group of hunter team members and two guerrilla teams on the water to carry out the operation, and the rest of the team members would cooperate with their actions.

Late at night, on the Yangtze River in autumn, the river breeze feels cool on people's faces, and the river surface is shrouded in a faint layer of mist. Several fishing boats were fishing in the middle of the river not far from the wharf, and the glimmer of the lanterns on the fishing boats shone through the mist on the nearby river, and a few fishing fires were reflected in the river. Fishermen are calmly placing their nets into the river.

Suddenly, the roar of a motor sounded from the dock, and a devil's motorboat left the dock. The fishermen watched warily over the pier.

Through the thin mist, the fishermen saw that a devil's motorboat was heading in the direction of the fishing boat, and the devils began their routine night patrol.

The motorboat came to the side of the fishing boat, and built it with a hook, and the devil interpreter on board shouted to them:

"What do you guys do?"

"Sir, we're the fishermen of Wharf, we're fishing." Xiao Xiong picked up a perch weighing more than a pound and replied.

It turned out that the fishermen on these fishing boats on the river were all members of the water troops and the hunter team, and they were personally led by Xiao Xiong and were ready to look for fighters. In this way, seeing the arrival of the devil, everyone was not only not nervous, but showed joy.

"Quick, show me the fish you caught." The devil translated and said.

Xiao Xiong piled the fish he caught on the bow of the boat, which was forty or fifty catties. The devils on the motorboat flocked to the bow of the boat to watch the fish. These fish are really good, and most of them are sea bass, pomfret and crucian carp. The big sea bass and pomfret weigh two catties, and those crucian carp are about one catty, which is the time to eat. When the devils saw the fish on the boat and thought about making them into a delicacy, the smell of the fish seemed to waft into their noses.

When the interpreter saw the greed of the devils, he immediately understood, and said:

"Taijun, this is the best fish in the Yangtze River."

The devils looked greedily at the pile of fish on the fishing boat and said, "All of them are Mismisi." With that, a few devils jumped off the fishing boat and threw the fish from the fishing boat onto the motorboat.

When Jiang Yongming saw it, he shouted anxiously: "Taijun, you can't do this." As he spoke, he made a gesture of obstruction. The devils pushed out with their hands, only to hear a "plop", Jiang Yongming's feet slipped, and he fell into the Yangtze River without standing firmly.

Wang Yantai and several team members also jumped into the river, they grabbed Jiang Yongming and swam to the side of the boat. When the devils saw a few people falling into the Yangtze River, they pointed their fingers at them and laughed happily. Due to the rapid current, several people did not swim to the side of the fishing boat, but grabbed the devil's motorboat.

At this time, the attention of the devils on the motorboat was all on the fish, and several fishing boats quietly approached the devil's motorboat. Suddenly, a whistle sounded, and several people in the river grabbed the feet of the devils on the side of the boat and pulled them into the river at once. The crew members on the fishing boat immediately took action, some threw their harpoons at the devils, and some jumped on the motorboat and fought with the devils. After a while, all the devils on the boat were cleaned up. They threw all the corpses of the devils into the river and fed them to the fish.

Xiao Xiong came to the bridge and ordered his men to start the boat immediately. He picked up a copy of the boat's watch record written in Chinese and looked at it.

The motorboat made a big circle on the river before turning around and heading towards the dock, because it was time for the devil to take over. They drove the motorboat to the dock, and the team members wearing devil uniforms lined up to get off the motorboat. At this time, it will take half an hour for the devil to take over.

"Quick, get ready to set up the explosives." Xiao Xiong had already learned the details of the situation on the dock from a small team of Hong Min, and had already made everyone fully prepared.

Xiao Xiong led the team and patrolled the docks. Those devils who were standing guard next to the pile and by the warehouse were all eliminated by Xiao Xiong and them without defense, and they went to the great god who saw them.

In less than half an hour, everyone had finished arranging the explosives. Then, with neat steps, they walked towards the motorboat.

After getting on the boat, Xiao Xiong and the others hurriedly started the machine. Just untied the cable, I suddenly heard someone shouting on the pier, and it turned out to be the devil who took over the patrol.

Xiao Xiong shouted at them in a Chinese language: "Let's go to Jiangxin to get you a few fish and come back, you wait a while." With that, the motorboat disappeared into the night in a short time.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out on the dock, followed by a skyrocketing fire. Soon, explosions rang out one after another, and in an instant, the entire dock was shrouded in smoke and fire.

Xiao Xiong's motorboat docked two miles upstream not far from Wharf Town. After getting off the boat, they ran towards the mountain according to the predetermined plan.

At this time, in the direction of Dock Town, there was another fierce gunfire. But the gunfire rang out only for a moment, and then suddenly it fell silent again. Groups of black shadows sped towards the mountains.
