"What are you doing? Don't light a fire. Don't you have any common sense?"
Dragon Boat Festival was talking to Sun Bo'an about the difference between soldiers and bandits. Unexpectedly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the soldiers lighting a fire and a curl of smoke rising from the kitchen.
Duanwu quickly ran over to stop it and put out the fire with water. Then he issued an order that no one should light a fire.
Because in an empty city where all the people have fled, smoke rises from cooking. Doesn't this tell the Japanese that there are still troops stationed in Changshan Town?
But at this time, the soldiers said: "Commissioner, we don't make a fire. These dishes also include rice and white flour. How can we cook them and eat them?"
And Xie Jinyuan also said: "Yes, Tuanzu, didn't you say that the little devil will come later? It's just for a while, don't worry."
Duanwu shook his head and said: "Being careful only makes the Wannian Ship. We are now pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. If we make one wrong move, we will lose everything."
Xie Jinyuan said regretfully: "Then there is nothing we can do. We finally found the food, but we have to put it back."
But unexpectedly, Duanwu suddenly jumped up and laughed: "Haha, I lied to you!"
“·················”
Xie Jinyuan was speechless and thought to himself: He is really drunk following such a crazy group every day.
But the soldiers misunderstood. A platoon leader of the 40th Division said: "Commissioner, you mean we can light a fire?"
Snapped!
Dragon Boat Festival hit him with a bang on the head and cursed: "I'm going to kill you. I told you not to light a fire?"
The platoon leader's head hurt from being beaten, but not only did he not complain, but he also felt that Dragon Boat Festival was approachable.
What is his identity? He is a special commissioner. And what is he? Just a small second lieutenant and platoon leader.
The status of the two people is as different as clouds and mud.
But Duanwu was willing to mess around with him. It must be said that this officer was amiable and caring.
However, the matter is not resolved yet. They need to cook the food, otherwise they will have to watch the vegetables and meat in front of them rotten bit by bit.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, Dragon Boat Festival pulled out an iron wire and two aluminum wires from nowhere.
The iron wire is about two millimeters, and the aluminum wire is slightly thicker. Then, like magic, it is braided into a braid in Duanwu's hands, making it look like a spring over one meter long.
I found a city brick and used a bayonet to cut grooves on it.
The braided metal wires are embedded into the grooves according to the pattern and are energized at both ends.
The metal wire gradually heats up and emits a color like coals.
A soldier from the 40th Division said in surprise: "It has a temperature, just like fire."
"The special correspondent is so powerful, he can actually use electricity to create fire."
"I know, I know, this thing seems to be called an electric stove. But I really didn't expect it to be made like this."
"The special correspondent is really well-informed! He knows a lot."
"Isn't this nonsense? If you don't know much, how can you lead us to victory?"
·················
The soldiers were very excited, but this was just the beginning.
Because this simple electric stove alone cannot solve the problem of eating for all soldiers.
There are too many of them. If they all use electricity, it won't take long for the wires to be burned.
But this is not a problem during the Dragon Boat Festival, the electricity supply is not available, and there is so much liquor. Light the high-strength liquor and it can be used as an alcohol stove.
So only half an hour later, the steaming hot meals were ready. There were meat and vegetables, as well as rice and white flour steamed buns.
If friendly forces saw this scene at this time, they would probably cry with envy. While they were still nibbling cold dry food and eating compressed biscuits, they had already begun to cook soup and eat meat.
The morale of the 40th Division was greatly shaken as a result, and joyful songs and laughter resounded throughout the afternoon when the sunset was like blood, and throughout the starry night sky.
The Japs did not attack Changshan Town. Perhaps because the strategic significance here was not great, the Japs' troops were all used to attack military strongholds such as Changshu and Fushan. Or perhaps, Zhou Weiguo attracted the Japs' attention to the Fushan position.
Therefore, during this nearly a day, Changshan Town did not encounter any Japanese attacks.
But other troops may not be so lucky. They are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders.
At this time, the Japanese 114th Division had surrounded Guangchen Town. Its 66th Regiment was in the north, the 102nd Regiment was in the west, and the 150th Regiment was in Puzhao Temple in the east.
Before the attack, the Japanese aviation force exerted great power and effect. Its 13th Navy Air Force used 10 Type 96 carrier-based bombers to bombard fiercely in turns. At the same time, artillery also opened fire across the board. Guangchen Town was instantly shrouded in a sea of fire and thick smoke.
, the garrison positions were almost completely destroyed.
Japanese infantry quickly broke into the town from all sides, and most of the defenders were forced to evacuate via waterways by boat.
After the Japanese army captured the town of Guangchen, a portion of it gathered at Jiziwei west of Guangchen.
At the same time, after taking control of the vicinity of Jiashan, the 18th Division in the north occupied Qianyao Town, five kilometers north of Jiashan.
That night, when Yanagawa Heisuke convened a meeting with his colleagues, he believed that the 10-day Battle of Kodong from the landing of the Tenth Army on the 5th to the 15th was not able to annihilate the main force of the enemy, so he decided to ignore the order lines drawn by the General Staff Headquarters.
Restrictions and bold pursuit in the direction of Nanjing.
To this end, Yanagawa Heisuke deployed the 18th Division from the northeast and the 114th Division from the southeast to form a pincer offensive to the west of Jiaxing and outflank it, while the Kunisaki Detachment prepared to attack Nanxun Town.
Because the Japanese army unexpectedly captured Pingwang Town, the rear of Chapingjia's defense line faced a major threat.
The Chapingjia Defense Line was, at that time, the most complete and strongest defense line in our country. If it lost its original value and role, the Japanese army would definitely be able to march straight into it.
Therefore, Zhang Fakui and Liu Jianxu, in order to prevent the Japanese army from succeeding in their encirclement attempt, deployed their main force to move to the line of Nanxun, Qingzhen, Chongde and Haining that day, and only one force continued to guard the vicinity of Jiaxing to delay the Japanese attack.
However, as all the national troops on the front had retreated, the 114th Division was able to quickly advance north of Pinghu on the 16th.
At 19:00 in the evening, Suematsu Shigeharu received the order to continue advancing from Pinghu to Jiaxing with the 127th Brigade, while the main force turned to Fengjing Town and advanced to Jiaxing.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from further breakthrough, the Chinese defenders blew up all the bridges when retreating from Jiashan, forcing the Japanese army to take a detour.
The Japanese troops in Jiaxing were temporarily blocked, but the war was far from over. On the 15th, the Changshu and Fushan positions encountered heavy Japanese shelling at the same time.
The one who worked hardest to attack Changshu was the main force - Chongteng Detachment.
The Chongteng Detachment was originally a unit stationed in Taiwan. Except for the superior officers, all the ordinary soldiers were soldiers, and the Chongteng Detachment was also known as the Taiwan Brigade! ...
