The fierce guns woke up the citizens of Shanghai. Needless to say, the gentlemen who were singing and dancing in the Paramount Dance Hall, the gentlemen who had just hugged the beautiful women and murmured intoxicating love words pushed the beautiful women in their arms and rushed towards the exit; the beauties who were intoxicated by the men's arms just now were even more pitiful, screaming and crying sounded, running fast, sprained their feet with high heels; those who ran slowly were not much better, either scolding the unscrupulous men or asking for their wallets to be lost. However, those ordinary Shanghai citizens, when they saw the fight, quietly pushed the door and windows open a thin gap, trying to see clearly what happened. After seeing this, they realized that the Shanghai city tonight had become inexplicable, and the Japanese had internal conflicts and opened each other. Many people cursed a few words in a low voice and closed the doors and windows.
This is not a Shanghai citizen. In order to achieve the surprise attack, the Eighth Route Army all wore Japanese uniforms and steel helmets. It was even more neat than the Japanese in the Shanghai Garrison!
Just as the Eighth Route Army quickly attacked and advanced, the First Column's baggage regiment had begun to inspect the freighters, cargo ships, all freighters and motor ships on the Shiliupu Wharf. Immediately afterwards, Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman led cadres and soldiers from the Political Department of the First Column to start propaganda and mobilize at each wharf.
Before departure, the Military Region Political Department drafted the publicity materials for entering Shanghai. At this time, take them out and post them while circulating them directly. The effect is amazing.
Dock workers and crew, sailors are originally disciplined and united ethnic groups, and Shanghai is another city with glorious revolutionary tradition. As soon as Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman and others promoted it, everyone knew that it was the Eighth Route Army that entered Shanghai, and their enthusiasm suddenly rose. Soon, many people asked to sign up for the battle against the Japanese army and lead the way for the troops. Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman and the comrades from the Political Department of the First Column strike while the iron is hot, and immediately formed a Shanghai dock workers' picket team at the Shiliupu Wharf, brought red armbands, and transferred personnel to lead the way for the troops, and started a war to carry the wounded and other support work. The requisitioned ships and motor ships were organized to carry seized weapons, ammunition, oil, grain, cloth, medicine, steel and other materials.
Since the establishment of the Concession in Shanghai, two completely different worlds have been formed. The paradise for foreigners is the Concession, and the area controlled by the Chinese is called the China Realm.
As colonists continued to cross the boundary and build roads, expand the concession, so that the concession land ran across the city of Shanghai, blocking the southern city and Zhabei of the Chinese border into two, from north to south, and needed to pass the concession. In this way, the colonists were still not satisfied and even threw out a "Greater Shanghai Plan" to merge the southern city and Zhabei into the concession, and moved to the Shanghai county seat in Minhang. In this way, the National Government, which was weak and incompetent, unable to recover the concession and unwilling to be humiliated, had to start planning and construction of the new urban area. Therefore, Dong Dayou, an architect who graduated from Tsinghua University and studied in the United States for six years, was appointed as the consultant of the "New Shanghai Central District Construction Committee" and director of the Architect's Office. He began to plan and build a new urban area in Jiangwan, northeast corner of Shanghai.
The reason why Jiangwan was chosen is because it is adjacent to the Huangpu River in the east and the Concession in the south. It has the superior natural conditions for building deep-water wharfs. The railway extending from the North Station can also be directly connected to the harbor, and the water and land transportation is extremely convenient. At the same time, the flat areas are wide, the prospects for investment and construction of factories are unlimited, and there are few relocated households. They can obtain the benefits of building flat land, but there are no troubles of renovating old areas. From then on, the "new urban area" can be promoted from north to south.
The National Government sacked 7,000 acres of land in Jiangwan and planned to build three parts: administrative, commercial and residential areas. The main buildings include the Municipal Government Building, Library, Museum, Shanghai Sports Field, Municipal Hospital, Thirty-Six Houses, etc., as well as memorial towers, fountains, art galleries, cultural palaces, and five-hole giant archways. The highways in the district are dots around the island with the Wujiaochang as radial shape, and more than 100 roads are crisscrossed like spider webs. What makes people feel deeply is the name of these roads, which is contrary to the concession's transliteration of Western languages.
The name is a convention, but it has a strong realistic political color. It is named after "Zhong, China, Min, Guo, Shang, Hai, City, and Zheng". The east-west road names around Wujiaochang are named after the word "Zheng" and the north-south road names are named after the word "Guo", such as Zhengtong Road, Zhengsu Road, Government Road, Guoquan Road, Guoshun Road, Guoji Road, and Guoji Road. When you are in it, you will feel solemn. The "New Municipal Government Building" is located in the four main lines of the Three People, Five Powers, World, and Datong Road. It can be clearly understood at a glance as the "Three People's Principles", the "Five Powers Constitution" and "World Datong".
Unfortunately, halfway through the project, the Japanese army launched the "January 28" Incident. The armistice agreement stipulated that the ** team was not allowed to station in the city of Shanghai. Chairman Jiang, who was busy encircling and suppressing the Red Army, agreed to such an arrangement. When the War of Resistance broke out in Shanghai in August 13, the Japanese invaded Shanghai. The Japanese thought that the old city of China was dilapidated and could not take action in the concession at will. They simply regarded the new city of Shanghai in Jiangwan as their own barracks and concocted the "Shanghai Metropolis" plan, preparing to build a new colonial area of ​​560,000 immigrants and a construction area of ​​22.4 million square meters, connected with Japan's control areas in Hongkou and Yangpu, in order to limit the concession forces of the United States, Britain and France and effectively control the entire Shanghai.
In this way, Jiangwan Wujiaochang became the base camp of the Japanese army in Shanghai, the 13th Army headquarters was here, the Japanese cavalry and special forces were all stationed here, and even the puppet Shanghai Municipal Government was also located here.
The deployment of the Eighth Route Army was that the cavalry column went shore through the Wusong River, surrounded and attacked the 13th Army Command of the Japanese Army, the Marine Corps Command, the Japanese Navy Jiangwan Airport, the Jiangwan New Area where Hongqiao Airport is located, and the Yangpu Concession Land controlled by Japan, blocking the Japanese retreat route; the first column advanced west along the Huangpu River, and the main force was ashore at the Shiliupu Wharf, with the main force of the armored regiment and the heavy machine gun regiment, the first column supplement regiment, the mechanized rapid mobile force composed of the engineer regiment, and the motorized rapid motorized force composed of the south-to-northwest, blocking the Japanese army in Shanghai to the west and fleeing to the southwest; the main force of the first column came shore from Shiliupu and swept across the Chinese border. Then attacked the Japanese occupied area of ​​Hongkou in the northwest of the concession, and joined the cavalry column to attack the main force of the Japanese army in Shanghai.
The reason for this deployment is that the tanks, armored vehicles and cars of the first mechanized troops need to go ashore from the China Merchants Wharf of Shiliupu Wharf. Moreover, the cavalry has strong mobility and can be deployed as quickly as possible after getting ashore, so as to block the path for the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanghai to escape northeast.
In this way, the Eighth Route Army's combat guiding ideology was reflected. It was to completely seal the waterways, railways, highways where the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanghai fled, surrounded by all sides, closed the door and beat dogs, and break through in the middle. No one of the Japanese or traitors was allowed to escape!
Because of this situation, the battle between the main force of the First Column in Shanghai and the Chinese border was extremely smooth. The real battle was launched on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, Hongkou, Yangpu and Jiangwan.
After confirming that the Eighth Route Army fleet attacked Shanghai, Shigeru Sawada, the commander-in-chief of the 13th Japanese Army, Yasuo Tangkawa, did not retreat after confirming that the Eighth Route Army fleet had sneaked into Shanghai. While reporting to the Chinese Expedition Army Commander-in-Chief Nishio Suzuo and the Tokyo Base Camp, the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanghai were ordered to urgently mobilize and set up positions to resolutely eliminate the Eighth Route Army that had sneaked into Shanghai.
The reason why Shigeru Sawada dared to issue an order to defend Shanghai was based on three judgments: First, the Eighth Route Army had a long-distance raid, the number of ships would be limited, and the troops transported to Shanghai would be limited; Second, several divisions of the 13th Army were deployed in areas around Shanghai. Although they were cooperating with the 11th Army's second battle in Changsha, Changsha could not be as important as Shanghai. If the order was carried out, each division would return to the rescue of Shanghai as quickly as possible. Moreover, the navy participating in the Far East campaign had already drawn three aircraft carriers back to the mainland and could reinforce Shanghai for the fastest combat. Third, Shanghai was the base camp of the Japanese army. The Japanese army had been operating for a long time, not only had the 13th Army troops, but also the Marine Corps. They could also urgently arm the expatriates. During the August 13 Incident, the ** team once captured the mainland of the Marine Corps Command, but was finally defeated. Shigeru Sawada was confident that he would stand in Shanghai to wait for assistance.
This is the consequence of Shigeru Sawada sitting in the office of the Japanese General Staff for a long time talking about war. If he had been on the battlefield in North China, fought with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, and witnessed the process of the annihilation of the Japanese Eighth Division, the First Chariot Division and other elite divisions, I believe he would not have ordered the defense of Shanghai to be detained. He would have ordered the bombing of the arsenal as soon as he received the report and retreated across the board. In that case, the results of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Shanghai would be greatly reduced!
After Zhao Dahe led two light tank battalions to ashore, he bypassed the Huajie area outside Shanghai County and headed straight to Tiantong'an Station of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. Behind the main force of the armored regiment, there were long steel torrents of armored vehicles and cars that were constantly ashore.
Shigeru Sawada was not a mediocre man. When he ordered to defend Shanghai to the death, he had already understood the situation on the battlefield in Shanghai. The Eighth Route Army landed on the Huangpu River and would inevitably focus the attack on Jiangwan, Yangpu, Hongkou. As for the public concessions controlled by Britain and the United States and the French concessions, with the relationship between China and these countries, the Eighth Route Army would not attack, and it could be used to block the Eighth Route Army from the southeast. As for the Chinese, there were not many garrison troops there, as long as it could restrain the landing Eighth Route Army. The key is to regain the Wusongkou Fortress, and the Second is to protect the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to facilitate the dispatch of the army headquarters and the joint fleet to reinforce. Now the Wusongkou Fortress has no time to take care of, and the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway must be kept in any case.
Because Shigeru Sawada had this consideration, the Japanese Shanghai Garrison strengthened the garrison forces at Tiantong'an Station and North Station for a while.
The Japanese troops to reinforce Tiantong'an Station had just arrived, and the headlights of the Eighth Route Army Mechanization Group were flowing towards Tiantong'an Station like the Milky Way!
