Chapter 60: Night Attack on Jiading (1)
Outside Jiading City, one kilometer away, in the dark, the entire first regiment of the Snow Fox Brigade and the two battalions of the teaching corps were quietly lurking here. Taicang is close to Jiading, and it is an early move, so I arrived here early.
Xie Chengrui arrived in Taicang with the second battalion and took over the second regiment of the entire teaching corps. After more than ten days of fighting, the second regiment also suffered many casualties. But he really didn't understand why a little girl who said that she could be sixteen or seventeen years old would have such a high level of military operations.
Lan Xun Zhou is a talent who has studied senior staff command, he studied in France for five or six years, and after returning to China, he studied at the military academy, and he could not be compared with Xue Ru.
The flexibility of her tactics and her understanding of the combat habits of the Japanese army are incredible. If the entire Songhu battlefield had been commanded in this way, would the Japanese army have been able to occupy Shanghai? It's a pity that she's just an unofficial major captain.
Now the two regiments together have about 2,000 men. But there are no heavy weapons. Although Jiading is not a tall city wall, it has no heavy artillery and no heavy weapons, and it is very difficult to attack the city wall position.
Although Xie Chengrui has the rank of colonel, the order of the former enemy command is to accept the command of the Snow Fox Brigade. As long as he can win the battle, for people like Xie Chengrui, it doesn't matter who he listens to.
After arriving here, Lan Xunzhou, the chief of staff of the major, still respected him very much, and worked closely with Ji Min, the commander of the original 35th Regiment, to withstand the Japanese attack.
At this time, both regiments were a red silk scarf and were officially included in the Snow Fox Brigade. Ji Min did not mention the name of the 35th Regiment again, but called himself the Snow Fox Regiment. Xie Chengrui and they were originally the second regiment of the teaching corps, and they naturally became the second regiment of the snow fox.
Looking at the dark night sky in the distance, Xie Chengrui asked worriedly, "What does Captain Xue think?" Even if we wipe out the 101st Wing, it will be impossible to hold out here. Once Kunshan is lost, we will be surrounded. ”
Lan Xun Zhou didn't know what was going on, a wing of the 16th Division had approached Taicang, and the 14th Wing of the 13th Division had also been replenished.
Xie Chengrui, Ji Min, and Lan Xun Zhou all understand that the 101st Wing is probably also waiting for the opportunity. If the attack is an attack on three sides, the Taicang troops will definitely be surrounded and wiped out, so they telegraphed to Xue Ru that Taicang will definitely not be able to hold it.
I thought that Xue Ru would let them retreat to Kunshan, and then move in the direction of Suzhou or Wuxi. When they received this order, the three of them were stunned, how could they be lurking towards Jiading, do they want to capture Jiading?
But there is no point in capturing Jiading, why is that? For such a long time, he accepted the command of Xue Ru from Kunshan, so he did not resist. As soon as it got dark, the entire army quietly abandoned its position, withdrew from Taicang, and rushed to Jiading.
The three of them studied for a long time, and they did not understand what kind of tactic this was and what was the point of doing so. In the end, we can only wait for Xue Ru to arrive and ask. But the three of them were looking forward to it, because they didn't study what they were going to do, and of course the devil couldn't be counted.
The sentries standing guard in the "report" brought some people, led by Wei Ming. Panting from being tired from the journey along the way, he saluted Lan Xun Zhou and said: "The captain arrived then and ordered the two regiments to be divided into four battalions, which approached the four gates of Jiading respectively, and lurked forward, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese army as much as possible." ”
The three of them were stunned, and Lan Xun Zhou asked, "What about the captain, how to fight?" ”
Wei Ming said: "There are people in the direction of each city gate, and when the city gate is opened, the troops rush to the city, and the 101st Wing of the Japanese army is completely annihilated, and they converge in the center of the city. The troops received weapons and ammunition in front of the city gates. The captain said, as long as you tell you to use the power of the pistol, fight in close combat with the Japanese army, street fighting, and do not give the Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns a chance to play, they will fail, and you can understand how to fight you. ”
The three of them were called over to teach Lieutenant Colonel Wu Youyuan, the commander of the first battalion of the Second Regiment, and Lan Xunzhou briefly talked about pistol melee tactics.
Time is running out, let's get started. Ji Min led a battalion to attack the east gate, Lan Xun Zhou led a battalion to attack the south gate, Xie Chengrui attacked the west gate, and Wu Youyuan led his first battalion to attack the north gate.
The troops quickly dispersed and rushed in their respective directions. At the same time, the entire brigade around Xue Ru was also close to Jiading.
The four squadrons immediately advanced in four directions, east, west, north and south. When they were four or five hundred meters away from the city gate, they joined up with their troops in the Blue Flood Zhou.
After all, Xie Chengrui has not been in contact with the Snow Fox Brigade for a long time. The direction of his attack was west of Jiading, and when he arrived, he contacted the Snow Fox Special Operations Squadron that had already arrived here.
Dai Zong said in a low voice: "Commander Xie, we are responsible for blowing up the city gate and covering your soldiers to attack it, and the task will be completed." We have other tasks, so we have to withdraw. ”
Xie Chengrui didn't know what Xue Ru's plan was, as long as he could attack the city, he nodded and agreed. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the battalion commander to crawl forward, resolutely not making a sound.
When Xie Chengrui and the others took over the weapons and ammunition, they found that in every battle, Xue Ru was targeted, and even brought one hundred and fifty Mauser pistols, each with sixty rounds of ammunition. At the same time, it is equipped with more than a dozen light machine guns, which are all melee weapons.
Xue Ru had these weapons and ammunition, which she and Li Yannian wanted, and they were the equipment of a division and most of the troops evacuated from Kunshan. The snow fox goose was like plucking, the basic pistols and bullets were left, and the spears were taken away.
I am afraid that the Snow Fox Brigade is now the most equipped with pistols among all the armies in China. Dai Zong: They are known as the special operations squadron, and of course they are the best equipped squadrons. Waving their hands, Kimberly and they immediately had more than fifty people approaching forward.
When he was close to the city wall for a hundred meters, he did not stop and kept advancing. When fifty or sixty meters were reached, it stopped, and fifty rifles were aimed at the city.
The soldiers who followed behind them advanced one after another, and soon more than a hundred people lined up in a long snake formation, and the first soldier in front had already climbed under the city gate.
Jiading is not a big county, but it is definitely a famous city. Not only is it a long history, rich culture, rich products, convenient transportation, and the most famous is the massacre that took place here in history.
Li Chengdong, the general of the Qing army, after occupying here, in order to fight the Nanming regime, forgot that he was also a Han Chinese, resented Jiading for sticking to it and not surrendering, and carried out three massacres in Jiading, killing more than 20,000 people and the Ming army, a county with a population of less than 30,000, almost one in ten, and blood and corpses everywhere.
This is the famous Jiading Three Massacres in history, and it is also the brutal and brutal behavior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which cannot be erased no matter how much they whitewash their historical legitimacy and progress.
In the history of 300 years, the Manchus integrated into the Han nation and became a member of the Chinese nation, and the fact that their hands were stained with the innocent blood of the Han people was also covered up, and no one dared to mention it. When the Qing Dynasty fell, many nostalgic people also found various reasons to excuse this tragedy.
Jiading, a city that was slaughtered, has stood up again in hundreds of years, and once again ushered in the butcher's knife of the invaders, but Jiading has lost its original blood. The enslavement education of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially the humiliation and weakness of the past hundred years, made the entire Chinese people lose the bloody nature of resistance.
At this time, Jiading was silent in this terrifying silence. The national army that held on here retreated, and the gentry and rich people in the city consciously held plaster flags to welcome the Japanese army entering Jiading.
They thought that with a friendly attitude, they could exchange the kindness of the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army, which pursued the supremacy of force and wanted to destroy the will of the Chinese people by bloody killings and achieve the goal of completely conquering China, still went on a killing spree. Find all kinds of reasons to shoot the people in the city.
Many wounded soldiers who had laid down their arms were captured and shot by the Japanese army, and those who took in the wounded and supported the people who held Jiading were also killed with bayonets on the pretext of resisting Japan.
Hundreds of years later, Jiading once again ushered in brutal killing. In just a few days, the city of Jiading was full of blood and became a hell on earth.
There were still a few people left in the city, numb, and they did not know what to do, so they could only remain silent.
The anger of the 101st Wing Commander, who occupied Jiading, was on the Chinese people. In the name of requisitioning grain, shameless robbery was carried out in the city of Jiading. Even the countryside around Jiading is not immune.
The people outside the city began to flee, but the people in the city had nowhere to flee but to wait for death. The national army has been completely defeated, and even the army has lost the mind of victory, not to mention the people. The state can no longer control them, and hope disappears in the hearts of these people.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the indomitable consciousness in the hearts of the Chinese will not be drowned, and there are always enthusiastic people who are not afraid of death and dare to fight.
In a private house in the northwest corner of the city, several people lowered their heads, and a dim oil lamp could see a little outline. Everyone's face was hazy, but the hatred and anger on their bodies seemed to be substantial. Depression, silence, and anger filled this tiny room.
One of the young men said in a low voice: "Team Leader Chu, it won't work like this, it's difficult for us to hide anymore, if we can't, we'll fight with the devil." ”
A man in his thirties glared at him: "What I said was in vain, wasn't it?" ”
The young man bowed his head, and the group leader, who was called the leader, said: "We are party members, and we must persist in the struggle no matter what the difficult environment." The instructions of the Central Committee that our current enemy is no longer the Kuomintang, but the Japanese aggressor. The War of Resistance is a long-term battle, we must learn to preserve our strength, how can we resist Japan without troops? In the future, in front of the national army, there is no need for us to hide our identities anymore. After escaping this time, a guerrilla force was formed as soon as possible to give hope to the people of Jiading and tell them that China was still fighting the war. ”
One of the northerners said, "Can the Kuomintang believe it? A bunch of waste, how could it fail if we had those equipment and ammunition? ”
"Lu Huan, you are an old party member, don't say such a levelless word, the devil is too strong, and the failure of the national army is also due to many reasons, not that they are incompetent. I have already conveyed the opinion of the Shanghai Special Commissar that the New Fourth Army has been reorganized and is on its way to the battlefield of resistance against Japan. We must concentrate on developing the armed forces, mobilize the people, and support the war of resistance. Get out of here when you get the chance, get guns, and form guerrillas. Carry out the struggle of the War of Resistance. "The team leader is very level, patiently explained.
Lu Huan nodded: "Yixiong, I'm sorry, that is, we can cooperate with the Kuomintang?" ”
The person known as Kazuo smiled: "We must study seriously and deeply understand the new situation, let us have a clear mind and distinguish who is the enemy." Now when the whole country is united, when the war of resistance is unified, all forces that can be united are united. In fact, I don't feel comfortable when I change the octagonal hat on my head, but I have to be conscious. ”
One of them, a man in his forties with glasses who had not spoken, said: "I heard that there is also a snow fox brigade in Taicang and Kunshan, since they are all friendly troops, how about asking them for help?" ”
Chu Yixiong shook his head and didn't speak, don't look at him and others, in fact, he doesn't believe in the Kuomintang army. How can the grievances between the two sides be eliminated so quickly for more than ten years. The form of this is very complicated, and it is difficult to say. Said firmly: "Don't count on them, I just came, and I heard that the Snow Fox Brigade is very capable of fighting." Although the Nationalist army in Shanghai was able to fight desperately, their reactionary nature would not change. Besides, Taicang and Kunshan can't hold it, and it is only a matter of time before they retreat. Let's figure it out on our own and talk about who we contacted. ”
Lu Huan said: "The devil is a disorderly massacre, there is no target at all, mainly young and strong people, so it is very difficult to mobilize the people, and there are only twenty or thirty people gathered together." ”
Chu Yixiong said: "Don't rush, take your time, the devil can't scare the Chinese, and the war of resistance will be won." ”
He announced the adjournment of the meeting, taking care to avoid the devils, and as soon as the city gates were relaxed, he immediately left the city to find a safe place to establish a guerrilla site. But suddenly I felt a vibration in the house, and then I heard a dull explosion.
This place was close to the West City Gate, and a few people came out and saw the flames in the direction of the West City, mixed with the sound of machine guns and rifles. Chu Yixiong was shocked: "It may be that the national army has come back, quickly gather personnel, participate in the battle, snatch the guns and withdraw from the city." ”
Lu Huan said: "Since the national army has come back, why should we withdraw? ”
Chu Yixiong said: "There is no large army of the national army around, it must be a small force, this is our opportunity, quickly, gather people here in the west of the city." ”
