No. 151 Shanghai Resentment (1)
After learning that Jiangyin had fallen into the "red bandits", Captain Wu Yu of Zhongshan was shocked. Jiangyin was the gateway to the Yangtze River, and the Jiangyin fortress uprising meant that the channel for the Zhongshan ships to escape to Shanghai was cut off.
In this situation, the Japanese proposed a Jianyì, in which the three shallow water gunboats of the Japanese were in the center of the passage through the Guò Jiangyin channel, while the Zhongshan ships hid outside the Japanese ships to take cover.
That night, the Zhongshan and three Japanese ships passed through the fortress of Guò Jiangyin, and the defenders, who had already revolted, discovered the Zhongshan and the Japanese ships. Because the Red Army had just occupied the Jiangyin fortress at this time, the artillery of the original fortress was being handed over, and the Japanese were signaling to protect overseas Chinese, and the Wuhan headquarters did not want to turn around with the Japanese at this point in time for the time being, the Zhongshan ship finally relied on the cover of the Japanese warships and successfully passed through the Jiangyin area.
What the Red Army, which had just occupied Jiangyin, did not know was that Wang Jingwei, vice chairman of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, was seated on one of the Japanese ships, the Toba. In order to compete with Song Ziwen for the reputation of "the last to evacuate Nanjing", he stayed on the Japanese warship at the Shimonoseki wharf in advance and waited until Song Ziwen left.
Relying on the cover of the Japanese, he and his secretary Zeng Mingzhong, and his henchmen Zhou Fohai and Chen Gongbo successfully escaped from Nanjing and arrived in Shanghai in the early morning of the next day. At this time, he and Chairman Song Ziwen, who arrived in Shanghai before him, all received the news that the headquarters of the Central Unification Committee had been blown up into the sky by Wang Yaqiao's "self-fire truck," and that a large number of high-ranking cadres of the Central Unification Committee headed by Chen Lifu had all been killed (disappeared) -- because the explosives were so powerful that the entire building was directly blown down, and every single one of them was crushed under the rubble.
Not to mention the bombing of Lin Han and Wang Yaqiao. Another bucket of ice water was poured on the Nanjing Nationalist Government, which was already in the late autumn. The Red Army made a successful surprise attack on Jiangyin, and at the same time, the Red Army on the Northern Front and the Red Army in the Ningbo direction also made new progress on the battlefield.
By the 13th of June, the Red Army east of Huzhou had easily taken Jiaxing, and the defenders surrendered without a fight. The liberation of Jiaxing was equivalent to the Red Army on the southern front directly putting its guns on the tip of Shanghai's nose. As for Jiangyin, the Red Army had to wait for reinforcements from other directions to arrive for the time being, and there was no major action for the time being.
At this time, the Shanghai garrison, in addition to the half-new and non-old 88th Division of 10,000 men in Sun Yuanliang's hand, plus a bunch of "groceries" troops composed of remnants of the defeated generals who were disabled by the Red Army, the total strength was only 15,000.
There were still some remnants of the artillery party on the north bank of the Yangtze River, after learning that Jiangyin had fallen into the "red bandits". Captain Wu Yu of Zhongshan was shocked. Jiangyin is the gateway to the Yangtze River. The uprising of the Jiangyin fortress meant that the channel for the Zhongshan ships to escape to Shanghai was cut off.
In this situation, the Japanese proposed a construction yì, when the channel of the guò river was passed. Three shallow gunboats of the Japanese drove in the center. And the Zhongshan ship hid outside the Japanese ship for testing. Thought it was cover.
That night, the Zhongshan and three Japanese ships passed through the fortress of Guò Jiangyin, and the defenders, who had already revolted, discovered the Zhongshan and the Japanese ships. Since at this time the Red Army had just occupied the Jiangyin fortress. The artillery of the original fortress was being handed over, and the Japanese signaled that they were protecting overseas Chinese, and the Wuhan headquarters did not want to turn around with the Japanese at this point in time for the time being, so the Zhongshan ship finally relied on the cover of the Japanese warship and successfully passed through the Jiangyin area.
