At half past five in the morning, the Jinling Anqing General Assembly was stationed.

"The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is in the area of Yingyu Lake in the south of Suzhou, it is said that there are water bandits, as well as new fishing gangs, and even guerrillas of the Shancheng government, you tell the fleet to be more careful, and you can't be careless with the protection of Japanese soldiers, now the world is very chaotic, and you dare to do anything if you are crazy!"

Chang Yuqing came to work in the resident office before dawn, and since last night, he suddenly felt a burst of heartbeat, and when the fleet was about to leave, he called the Suzhou Canal Wharf to ask about the situation of the transport fleet.

The people from the Suzhou branch of the Anqing General Association reported that the fleet was about to leave for Hangzhou, and since this was the military rations of the 13th Army, escorted by two patrol boats of the Japanese army, and two machine ships, plus the guards on the grain ships, equipped with an escort of more than 200 people, he was a little relieved.

A few years ago, Chang Yuqing's son Chang Haibo received a report, and several Japanese gendarmes from the gendarmerie quietly ran to the area of Chishan Lake in Lishui with a special team to arrest the underground party's reconnaissance personnel.

But this time he never returned, and more than 30 people plus three cars disappeared without a trace, and no one was alive or dead, and most of them were wiped out by the guerrillas.

This incident soon spread all over Jinling, and the common people applauded it, and it is said that there were many people who spontaneously set off firecrackers to celebrate, and the merchants and people of Jinling City were formed by this group of ruffians and hooligans, and there were not a few people who were ruined and killed.

Chang Yuqing is fifty-five years old, although he is not an advanced age in later generations, but during the Republic of China, the average life expectancy was only thirty-five years old.

In the New Year of the 31st year of the Republic of China, the whole family spent in a cry of ghosts and wolves, and it was not until April that the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and the 13th Army were preparing to implement the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and the Anqing General Assembly was required to handle the business of transporting military rations.

From the Wujiang River in Suzhou to the waters of Yingyu Lake, the distance is more than 30 kilometers, and it can be reached in more than an hour, until more than ten o'clock, and he did not receive a call, Chang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and it is estimated that the task of transporting grain this time is very smooth.

But what he didn't know was that in fact, the fleet passed through Yingyu Lake and arrived near Yujiadang, it was ambushed, the guerrillas connected several boats to block the water, four heavy machine guns and two in the front and back, set up on both sides of the canal, with ten Browning automatic rifles, the blockade had no dead ends, and two sniper teams carried out sniping around.

As soon as the two Japanese patrol boats entered the ambush circle, they were directly taken care of, and a concentrated fire was fired, and the 12.7 mm bullets from the Browning large-caliber machine gun burst the motorboat.

The same treatment was given to two machine ships carrying convoys, the wooden hulls, with no suppressive firepower except for two light machine guns, and in the face of the guerrillas with all American equipment, it was a one-sided slaughter!

One by one, the boatmen lay on the boat, trembling with fright, naturally it was impossible to resist the attack of the guerrillas, they were ordinary people who ate mixed food. The guards on each boat, seeing that the general trend had gone, did not dare to continue to resist, how could they have seen such a battle? The battle ended in just half an hour.

The guerrillas divided into two groups, one group extinguished the fire on the two Japanese patrol boats, removed the things that could still be used, and used two machine boats to drag the broken iron shell to the vicinity of Yingyu Lake, blew it up and sank it in the water, faked the scene of the ambush, and cleaned up the traces of the battle when they returned. Another group of more than 60 boats entered the north of the bridge through Yujiadang, all the way to Caodang.

This kind of battle in the river, if you don't look closely, you can't find traces at all,

"President, Li Shiqun and Gao Guanwu have made a big fuss, just now I heard that he ran to the Supervision Yuan and impeached Gao Guanwu for ten crimes, which has become a joke in our Jinling City." Qiao Hongnian walked in and said.

The dog-eat-dog incident between Li Shiqun and Gao Guanwu, chairman of the provincial government of Su Province, is the biggest news of the Wang puppet government at present, and the Anqing Association has close contacts with the Wang puppet government and the Japanese army, so naturally knows the reason.

Li Shiqun actually went to the Supervision Yuan to sue Gao Guanwu, indicating that the two of them had reached the point where the net was broken, and they had to compete to win or lose.

"Gao Guanwu doesn't know the current affairs, Li Shiqun is currently proud of the spring breeze, with the support of the Japanese behind him, Gao Guanwu is not his opponent. Fundamentally speaking, Gao Guanwu belongs to the faction of the new government, grandma does not love his uncle and uncle, Chairman Wang is very wary of these people, after the establishment of the new government, in addition to Chen Qun and Ren Yuandao are still in important positions, that is, he has fished out the biggest fat shortage and became the provincial chairman of Su Province. ”

"The Japanese want to clear their hometowns, which is also something that Chairman Wang strongly approves, but Gao Guanwu and Li Shiqun are fighting for power and profit, not only the Japanese do not agree, but Chairman Wang is also very tired of Gao Guanwu, if I am the chairman of the Soviet Province, I will cooperate with Li Shiqun and conform to the general trend to understand people."

"The Qingxiang Committee wants money and power, you just give it to him, no one dares to trouble you if something goes wrong, Li Shiqun will naturally come forward, Su Province is not from my family, hold on to it and don't let go, isn't it asking for trouble for yourself!" Chang Yuqing said lightly.

"If Li Shiqun, the head of the secret service, succeeds in the competition for the chairman of the Soviet Province, this may not be a good thing for us, he likes to eat alone, and he is not afraid of dying, and the interests of the Anqing Association in the southern Jiangsu region are bound to be affected." Qiao Hongnian said.

"I just said, only cooperation can protect their own interests, Li Shiqun likes to eat alone, such a big piece of fat in Suzhou Province, he can't eat it, and the Anqing General Association is mainly a Cao Yun business, everyone well water does not violate the river water, our Anqing General Association is not easy to bully, and at present, the Japanese Dispatch Army Commander-in-Chief needs to rely on us to transport grain and grass to the front line." Chang Yuqing said.

Waiting until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, he still didn't wait for the call, more than 100 kilometers of river, how to say that it should have arrived in Hangzhou, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly called the branch of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and ordered people to face each other in the north and south, and quickly drove the boat along the Grand Canal to find out if there was something wrong.

"Report to the president, we met in the south of Jiaxing, the Japanese patrol boat and our fleet actually disappeared in the Grand Canal, and we couldn't find it, and we didn't see any planks, debris, broken sacks or anything on the water, as if they had disappeared out of thin air, it was incredible!"

"Bastard, when are you still dragging the text with Lao Tzu?"

In the evening, Chang Yuqing got a report and suddenly jumped to his feet, this is especially the Japanese army's military rations, tens of thousands of tons of rice and supplies were lost, and the Japanese still didn't pick up his skin?

After receiving the report, the Japanese army attached great importance to it, this is the military rations of the 13th Army!

The Japanese naval fleet immediately dispatched four river gunboats and one gunboat, carrying hundreds of Japanese troops, from Zhenjiang into the river channel of the Grand Canal, tracing the whereabouts of the ships everywhere, only to find traces a day later, the oil stain on the ships floated out and floated on the surface of the river, and was seen by chance.

After investigating the scene, the wreckage of two patrol boats was found, but there was no value for salvage, and at the same time, the earth pit where the corpses were buried was found on the shore, most of them were torn apart, missing arms and legs, and the 12.7 mm large-caliber machine gun bullet casings were also picked up on the shore, which shows how powerful the opponent's firepower is.
