Gaozi Town is located 12 kilometers west of Zhenjiang City, established in the Song Dynasty, is a famous ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, a place where businessmen gather, and has a long reputation. Originating from the Gaozi River in Donggang, the southern foot of the Changshan Mountain in the southwest of Zhenjiang River, winds through the east of the town, and a large stone bridge was built on the Gaozi River in the northeast of the town during the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, communicating the east-west traffic.

After the occupation of Nanjing, the Central China Front of the Japanese army specially stationed a brigade and two regiments of the puppet army in Zhenjiang to protect the safety of the Beijing-Shanghai railway.

Lieutenant Xue Zhiwen, commander of the second platoon of the first company of the special battalion of the New Second Army, was hiding in a private house on the northern outskirts of Gaozi Town.

At this time, it was already noon, and the whole Gaozi town was as calm as water, and gradually, a long whistle of a train whistle was heard in the east, and the earth trembled slightly.

Xue Zhiwen waved his hand and said to the soldier beside him, "The train is coming!" Inform the sapper team to prepare for the blast! ”

"Yes!"

One of the soldiers answered, and sprang out of the house like a civet cat, running in the direction of the big stone bridge.

Without waiting for half a minute, the billowing smoke from the locomotive appeared on the eastern horizon, and the sound of "boom dong" became louder and louder.

Minutes and seconds tick by!

"Boom-"

"Knock-"

A violent explosion sounded on the stone bridge, and the train that was still speeding shook a few times, and as the stone bridge quickly collapsed, the rails twisted and broken, first the locomotive fell headlong into the river, and then the whole train fell like a snakeskin without a spine, and most of the last half fell into the Gaozi River.

"Okay, the sapper team did a good job, now it's time for us to act!" Xue Zhiwen sorted out the Japanese military uniform on his body and left quickly with people.

Half an hour later, Xue Zhiwen and his entourage met the Toda squadron of the Japanese Guards Division who had come from Zhenjiangxi Railway Station to check the situation. Xue Zhiwen, whose ragged clothes and face were blackened by gunsmoke, suddenly rushed to the side of the squadron leader, Lieutenant Takaharu Toda, burst into tears, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Yaga, what the hell is going on?"

Lieutenant Toda looked at Xue Zhiwen, who was embarrassed and covered in mud and filth, and the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder, frowning.

Toda Koji spoke Japanese with a Kansai accent, and the speed of speech was too fast, Xue Zhiwen didn't react for a while, he wiped the beads of sweat on his face indiscriminately, and took the opportunity to consider how to explain the situation to Toda.

"Sir, I'm Kazumura Kaji, the captain of the 13th Wing of the Heavy Soldiers, and I'm responsible for escorting a batch of supplies to Nanjing!"

After Xue Zhiwen introduced himself, he turned his head and pointed to the big stone bridge in the distance: "After the train passed through Zhenjiang Station, we found that the situation was wrong, and there were people peeping at the railway from time to time...... They planted explosives under the bridge piers, which were detonated as soon as the train crossed the bridge, killing all the Imperial officers and soldiers in the carriages in front of them! We stayed in the last two carriages, and we were attacked by the New Second Army before we could decide on it, and we finally managed to break out of the encirclement. ”

"Pity a train full of supplies, and in the last carriage we were in, there were more than 30 comfort women brought from North Korea, and now all of them have fallen into the hands of the Chinese people! Alas, Lieutenant General Ogizhou in Nanjing is still waiting for this batch of supplies, and I don't know what to do! ”

Ogizhou Libing is the commander of the 13th Division and the commander of the Nanjing garrison, and Xue Zhiwen's performance is very good, crying and crying at the same time.

"Yaga, don't cry, how can the Imperial Japanese Army be intimidated by the guerrillas?"

When Lieutenant Toda heard that there were guerrillas, not only did he not feel frightened, but his eyes lit up, he grabbed Xue Zhiwen's hand and hurriedly asked, "Let me ask you, how many of them are there?" ”

"As soon as the train derailed, they snatched supplies from the last few carriages...... Their size should not exceed three hundred, if it weren't for the serious damage of the imperial army escorted, they wouldn't have been able to get close to our train at all, but there is a situation that needs attention, there are quite a few people who follow the troubled waters to fish! ”

Xue Zhiwen blinked his eyes, as if trying to recall the scene at that time, and guided the hill again: "They robbed a lot of supplies, and now they are fleeing in the direction of Wuzhou Mountain." ”

"Yaga!"

Lieutenant Toda gritted his teeth in hatred, and with the help of two military officers, he climbed a section of earthen wall more than two meters high next to the railway, and raised his binoculars to check the movement on Goshu Mountain.

Wuzhou Mountain is not far from Gaozi Town, belongs to the branch of Maoshan Mountain Range, the main peak is more than 300 meters, because you can see Yangzhou, Guazhou, Zhenzhou, Taizhou and Runzhou five states by climbing this mountain.

In the telescope lens, a large number of ordinary people carrying large bags of things and trying to run towards the mountains, mixed with some people in military uniforms, a small number, made Lieutenant Toda excited.

The New Second Army made a series of brilliant achievements from the Japanese Army's 114th Division, Sixth Division, Second Division, Seventh Division, 18th Division, Fourth Division, Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and Kunisaki Detachment.

The arrogance and contempt for the Chinese formed after the Meiji Restoration were deeply rooted in the bones of every Japanese officer, and with the whetstone of the New Second Army, many middle and low-ranking officers of the Japanese army trained hard in order to lead their troops to defeat the New Second Army one day. Now that the target has appeared, Lieutenant Toda has no reason not to follow, bite the tail and eliminate the opponent.

Although Lieutenant Toda was carried away by the enthusiasm for a while, the good training he received for a long time and the strict battlefield regulations allowed him to calm down and observe carefully.

Among the fleeing crowd were only more than 300 soldiers of the New Second Army, while Lieutenant Toda had a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, adding up to 1,500 people.

Outnumbered, don't miss the opportunity!

Lieutenant Toda soon issued an order to pursue, and Ma Dezhong, the commander of the Imperial Association Army, had just opened his mouth to dissuade him, worried that it was a trap of the New Second Army, so he was slapped by Xue Zhiwen fiercely.

Xue Zhiwen, who had the rank of second lieutenant as a cover, jumped up and pointed at Ma Dezhong and scolded, saying that he was frightened by the New Second Army, and the imperial army did not need such a wretch.

Ma Dezhong, who was born in a big landlord family and his ancestral home in Jurong, was the head of the security regiment of the Jiangsu security forces stationed in Danyang before he became a traitor, and when Danyang fell, the troops were scattered, and Ma Dezhong, who hid back at home in the countryside of Jurong, was blocked by the Japanese army who came to the door, and he chose to steal life under the choice of life and death, and his bones had long been bent, so although he was not angry in his heart, he did not dare to say much in the face of the Japanese officers, so he had to take his own soldiers, follow behind the devil, and chase the Chinese soldiers and civilians who fled south.

Although Wushu Mountain is a mountain, the area near the plain is mostly gentle hills with low elevation, and there is a long and narrow canyon between the mouth of the dam and the horse riding gang, which leads to Weigang in the south.

The common people entered the canyon one after another, and they really had a good harvest this time. Although there were no weapons and equipment on this train, there were a lot of canned food, sake to drink, and padded jackets to use.

Ordinary people carry wheelbarrows on their shoulders, or pick or lift, and some even push wheelbarrows, walking extremely fast. The officers and men of the new second army fell behind, covering the retreat of the common people.

At an altitude of more than 200 meters above sea level, halfway up the mountainside facing the east, Liu Zhenning put down the telescope in his hand and retreated behind the grass more than one meter high.

Seeing Lan Feng, Li Yong and others surrounding him, Liu Zhenning said in a clear and dry voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time we have entered behind enemy lines to coordinate operations, and we must fight well and strive to wipe out all the puppet troops that have been around for more than a thousand days. Please remember that the military seat is waiting for our good news, and we must not let him down! ”

"Yes!"

The officers replied in unison.

"Alright, let's disperse, let's go back and make the last preparations!" Liu Zhenning waved his hand, and Lan Feng and the others immediately ran towards their respective positions.

######

Under the command of Lieutenant Toda, the Japanese puppet army quickly broke through to the mouth of the gorge like bows and arrows off the string.

Trying to catch up with the greedy mob, Lieutenant Toda kept driving away the puppet army, but he didn't notice that Xue Zhiwen's Japanese soldiers who reported the news were missing.

Five minutes later, the Japanese puppet army had completely driven into the canyon, and the forward was less than four hundred meters away from the new second officers and soldiers who were covering behind, and Lieutenant Toda excitedly pulled his neck and shouted to the left and right: "Kill and give-"

Before Lieutenant Toda could finish speaking, a series of explosions suddenly came from behind-

"Boom-"

"Boom, boom—"

A burst of fire was everywhere, and the smoke quickly covered the mouth of the canyon, and with the north wind passing through the valley, the thick smoke blew towards the center of the canyon, and bursts of "da-da" shooting sound came from the mountains on both sides of the canyon behind.

"Yaga, what's going on?"

Lieutenant Toda felt bad, but his vision was obscured by the thick smoke, and he couldn't see clearly for a while.

Pulling out his saber with a "bang", Toda grabbed a puppet soldier running from behind and asked loudly, "What's going on in the back?" ”

Lieutenant Toda spoke Japanese, and the puppet soldiers who were caught by him could not understand what he meant, so they bent over and nodded to Lieutenant Toda and begged for mercy.

Lieutenant Toda stopped talking nonsense with this puppet soldier, picked up the saber, and stabbed him in the heart.

Pushing away the killed puppet soldiers, Lieutenant Toda directly targeted the puppet army commander, Ma Dezhong could listen to a little Japanese, and hurriedly pointed to the gunsmoke behind: "Taijun, it's the ambush of the Chinese army, we have been tricked!" I'll just say, how could the New Second Army make such a low-level mistake, this is a trap at all......"

Lieutenant Toda was eager to kill the long-winded puppet regiment commander in front of him with a knife, and he was still there to show his merit at this time. Lieutenant Toda jerked, put his saber on Ma Dezhong's neck, and ordered him to lead the puppet army to launch a counter-charge towards the smoke of gunpowder, and be sure to open the exit of the canyon.

As the hot and cold mountain winds intensified, the smoke gradually dispersed, the overwhelming shouts of killing came, and the red flags on the hills on both sides were displayed, and it was not clear how many people there were.

Lan Feng was holding a southern submachine gun, like a killing god, and the sound of "da-da" bullets was endless. Beside him, there were more than a dozen Japanese-made submachine guns, shooting at the counterattacking puppet army together, and the rain of bullets instantly stunned the puppet army, and they fled to the back.

The defeat was like a mountain, watching the puppet soldiers scurrying like rabbits overwhelming the Japanese formation, Lieutenant Toda was furious, his eyes were as wide as cowbells, and he jumped his feet and shouted at the Japanese squad leader and military cao next to him: "Yaga! Seize the high ground and block the demons. ”

"Smack-"

A sniper rifle bullet hit him directly in the chest, and Lieutenant Toda was stunned, he lowered his head and looked at the blood gushing from his chest in surprise, turned slightly, and fell to the ground.

A loud trumpet resounded through the canyon, and countless shouts and countless figures flashed in the grass on both sides.

Under the impact of superior forces, the puppet army rushed like headless flies, and the bayonets of the officers and men of the new second army were sharpened, and a battle of encirclement and annihilation had reached a critical moment.

"Attack!"

"Shoot or kill!"

When the signboard of the New Second Army was revealed, more than 1,100 soldiers of the puppet army did not dare to move, and threw away their weapons one after another, held their heads, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

The battle in the back is very simple, often five or six soldiers deal with a ghost soldier, facing the dilemma of being surrounded, but not a single Japanese soldier surrenders, but takes out the posture of a duel, and swears to resist to the end.

The battle ended quickly, from the detonation of the mine to the end of the battle, it took less than an hour. Liu Zhenning counted the battlefield and captured a total of 1,350 Type 38 rifles, 22 southern pistols, six grenadiers, eight crooked machine guns, and more than 60 grenades......

The results are brilliant!
