At about 9:30 in the morning, Taishun County Guard Corps Chief Xie Qingsong and County Magistrate Yu Shengqiao were leading a group of officers and officials from the Guard Corps and the county government to give a speech on the largest Guangyi Street in Taishun County amidst the sound of firecrackers. The merchants were paying New Year greetings, and the sound of horse hooves was heard from the east end of the street. Everyone followed the sound, and a major next to Xie Qingsong said to him: "It's Lu Chengqin."
Lu Chengqin came from the south of the city. From a long way away, he shouted: "Thank you, Commander, for the urgent military situation."
Xie Qingsong and everyone in Yushengqiao knew that there was a war going on in the Fuding area. The reason why they went out to pay New Year greetings was in response to the decree of the Fujian Appeasement Administration to appease the people. When the words "Emergency Military Information" rang out, everyone's expressions froze. Qingsong and others went up to him and asked, "Xiao Lu, what's going on?"
Lu Chengqin still knew the importance, dismounted and walked to him, whispering to him: "There was a fire in the direction of Nanyuan Township. Jin Xiaoshan's patrol team went to reconnaissance and found that a large group of enemies were burning, killing and looting in Nanyuan." At this point , the young staff officer had tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "This enemy is particularly ferocious and commits all kinds of evil. Jin Xiaoshan asked a brother to come back to report, hoping that you will provide reinforcements immediately."
"This large group of enemies, how many there are, let's go back to the military camp."
Xie Qingsong waved and led everyone to the guard regiment's station with a heavy face. Yu Shengqiao was worried about the "military situation" and asked from behind: "Captain Xie, what happened."
Xie Qingsong thought for a while and realized that hiding something could not be done, and it would not be beneficial. He stopped and turned around and said to him: "County Magistrate Yu, the Japanese have invaded the South Campus. I want to bring the security group to reinforce. Hurry up." Organize manpower to help Captain Jiang defend the city. If there is any new situation, I will have people come back to inform you."
Xie Qingsong's words were like a thunderbolt to Yushengqiao and the surrounding merchants, "What, the Japanese have attacked the south courtyard." "No, the Japanese must have come from Bentai."... Everyone There were a lot of discussions, and Yu Shengqiao's heart was hanging. He simply comforted everyone, and then led the people from the county government to the station of the self-defense brigade.
When Xie Qingsong returned to the station, he first reported the intelligence to his superior, the commander of the Shoutai Guard Brigade, Miao Daqing, and then asked for instructions to lead the Taishun Guard Regiment to Nanyuan to stop the enemy.
The matter was so important that Miao Daqing did not dare to be expert, so he immediately called Fuzhou to report the matter to the Fujian Garrison Command. After Jiang Guangnai went to the front line in Fuding, the work of the Garrison Command was handed over to Deputy Commander Xiao Xishun. Xiao Xishun heard that Shocked and angry by the news, he first asked Miao Daqing to find out the scale of the invading Japanese army, and then after discussing it with the officers at the headquarters, he reported the matter to Jiang Guangnai.
Jiang Guangnai was currently in the headquarters of the 10th Xuexi Division on the Fuding Front Line. When Shen Guanghan walked in with a telegram, he, Liu Yuqing and Pang Deya, the commander of the Second Guard Division, were talking around Wan Bing, the commander of the Second Special Artillery Brigade. Regarding the "Thunderbolt" rocket launcher,
The news that the 1st Special Artillery Brigade wiped out more than 10,000 enemies with three salvos in Wucun Town reached Fuding. The headquarters of the 4th Xue Army and the 10th Xue Division were filled with joy because the New Year atmosphere that had disappeared from the war suddenly returned. Jiang Guangnai and Liu Yuqing In view of the desperate energy shown by the Japanese army last night, I was originally worried that if the Japanese army continued to launch this offensive during the day on the first day of the new year, they might be defeated. Now that I know that the power of the "Thunderbolt Fire" is so terrifying, the two hearts There must be a lot, and at the same time I am even more curious about the Second Special Artillery Brigade.
The 1st Special Artillery Brigade could achieve such a result. Wan Bing, who was also the brigade commander of the Special Artillery Unit, said that he did not expect it. He said to Jiang Guangnai and the others: "There is no doubt about the effectiveness of the rocket launcher, but three salvos It can wipe out more than ten thousand enemies. To be honest, I can't describe the specific process without seeing it with my own eyes."
The four people talked about last night's battle to watch the United States. Liu Yuqing specifically said: "The biggest threat to us now is the Japanese aviation force. Not to mention the army aviation, the Japanese navy aviation force is so elusive that it is really difficult to prevent it. If we can't To effectively curb the Japanese naval power, even if we can hold the Fuding line of defense, we certainly cannot afford the losses caused."
Jiang Guangnai continued: "The coastline of Fujian and Guangdong is too long, our navy is not enough to threaten the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet, and our air force is not large enough to control the entire territory. In the long run, it is indeed worrying. The Japanese have made it clear that they want to fight with Let’s spend our money.”
When Jiang Guangnai, Liu Yuqing and Pang Deya discussed the war situation in southern Fujian, Wan Bing listened quietly and remained silent. Hearing them mention the Japanese air superiority, he said: "Mr. Jiang, our Second Special Artillery Brigade can also be used for air defense. "
Jiang Guangnai was startled and immediately asked: "Can the 'Thunderbolt Fire' be used against the air?"
Wan Bing nodded affirmatively,
Jiang Guangnai's eyes flashed with joy. He thought for a while, his eyes dimmed again, and said: "It's a pity that the scale is too small. If we can have an army, no, even a division, we don't have to be so timid."
Wan Bing shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. Jiang, the scale is not small. Do you still remember the commander-in-chief used fireworks to assassinate the Japanese aviation force in Renqiu and Zhangjiakou?"
Ouyang Yun once used giant fireworks to ambush the Japanese aviation units in Renqiu and Zhangjiakou, and achieved quite good results. This battle was included in the army's air defense textbooks. Jiang Guangnai had naturally heard of it, and he immediately understood it after thinking about it. Come and ask Wan Bing: "What do you mean, what kind of effect can rocket launchers achieve when used for air defense?"
Wan Bing nodded and said: "We brought a total of two types of rockets this time, among which the 'Thunderbolt III' is specially used for air defense."
Jiang Guangnai became excited and stood up and said: "If it really has the effect of fireworks, it is a sharp anti-aircraft weapon. In this way, we don't have to be too afraid of the Japanese aviation."
"There is only one problem that needs to be paid attention to when using the Thunderbolt for air defense. It is troublesome to load the rocket launcher. There is basically only one launch opportunity before the battle. Therefore, the timing of joining the battlefield is very important..."
Before Wan Bing could finish these words, Shen Guanghan opened the door and came in, shouting: "Mr. Jiang, urgent military information."
Wan Bing shut up and looked at Shen Guanghan with four pairs of eyes at the same time.
Shen Guanghan's face turned red, and there was unconcealable anger in his eyes. He raised the telegram in his hand and looked at Jiang Guangnai and said: "The Japanese are not human beings. They are so cruel and inhumane. They, they actually sent an army A partial force attacked Taishun Nanyuan. Chiang Kai-shek was so cruel. The Japanese, the Japanese actually carried out a massacre in the South Yard."
Shen Guanghan was stimulated and extremely angry. He was a little incoherent.
His words were like thunder to the four people present. The four of them stood up. Jiang Guangnai rushed over and grabbed the telegram in his hand. He glanced at it and his hands shook violently with anger. "Things." Thug thump." He backed away and shouted in a hissing voice: "Male Gobi, the bastard Matsui Iwane, I have no sworn relationship with him."
