In the failure of southern Zhejiang, although the Japanese military ultimately did not hold Shozo Kawabe and Kanji Ishihara responsible for their poor rescue efforts, and even promoted the former because of the poor situation in the southeastern battlefield, this has already formed among the senior leaders of the Chinese dispatched troops. The consensus was that if the 13th Division and the 16th Division could arrive in Ningbo in time, then the Battle of Southern Zhejiang would have had a different outcome. In this way, Nishio Shouzou's response to Hebian and Ishihara's handling of the Jiangxinzhou issue It is asserted that it has a considerable market and is recognized by almost the vast majority of senior Japanese military officers in China.
Three mine clearance boats were in the lead, followed closely by two light cruisers, the main battleships of the Third Yangtze Fleet, then several lighter gunboats, then dozens of troop carriers, and finally more than ten medium-sized ships. The small battleships and the Third Yangtze River Fleet have such a formation. With the Japanese army fully controlling the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it can be said to be foolproof. After the fleet set sail again, Nishio Hisao looked back and forth and was quite satisfied with the fleet commander's arrangement. He gave a note to the officer outside: Call me when you get to Bazwei, and then entered his private cabin.
On Jiangxin Island, more than a thousand guerrillas, led by Hu Shisan, wore cotton-padded jackets coated with mud and then dried in the sun. Their faces were covered with mud and they were lying tightly in tomb-like buildings. There were three to four hundred tomb-like buildings, and the middle was all the same color. Gasoline barrels, and the gasoline barrels were covered with three or four quilts, the top layer of which was soaked in water. Fox Thirteen took all aspects into consideration when building the Jiangxinzhou fortifications. At this moment, the Japanese fleet With three mine clearing boats as the vanguard, he started moving again. He raised his head slightly and made a gesture,
Under the unified control of his gesture, more than fifty guerrillas in the tomb-shaped building moved quickly. They tore off the quilt covering the gasoline barrel, and then struggled to pull out the wooden blocks stuffed on the sides of the gasoline barrel. , began to adjust the orientation and angle of the gasoline barrel. Xiang Yunyong, the captain of the Taixing Guerrilla Brigade, lay next to Fox Thirteen. He nervously asked Fox Thirteen: "Commander, can you really sink a warship?"
Fox Shisan replied firmly: "Of course."
Xiang Yunyong looked at the flames emitted by a Japanese mine-clearing boat when it hit a mine, and asked with some stuttering: "Xiao Yin, she, she is really a Japanese spy, she is so kind."
Hu Shisan glanced at him deeply and reminded: "Yun Yong, I told you that the most taboo thing for people who work as espionage agents is to mix their own feelings. With you like this, how can I trust the agents?" I'll leave the team to you."
Since the Xue Bingjun became the backbone of the anti-Japanese armed force, the Japanese have begun continuous espionage infiltration work. In order to assassinate Ouyang Yun, they even used multiple dead chrysanthemums. However, because of the existence of Fox Tong, most of these operations ended in failure. Fox Shi As a former Fox Tong, San was well aware of the energy of the Japanese army in this area, so it was naturally impossible to ignore this aspect of work. When the Santai Guerrilla Column was established, he formed a special agent team dedicated to countering espionage. The work of the special agent team was originally organized by He did both, but as the Xuebing Army began to launch counterattacks in northern Zhejiang, northeastern Jiangxi, and southwestern Jiangxi, and established military bases overseas, he had a premonition that a full-scale counterattack by the Xuebing Army and even the Chinese army was not far away, so he deliberately Delegate other tasks at hand to others, and focus on troop building yourself.
Some time ago, a leak occurred at the Santai Guerrilla Column Headquarters. Fox Shisan used several nearby Fox Eyes teams to thoroughly investigate the matter, and finally targeted the confidential secretary Yin Fengwu, because he did not get the Conclusive evidence, Hu Shisan did not immediately order the arrest, but took the opportunity to ambush the Yangtze River Third Fleet to send out a bait.
Not many people know about this, and Xiang Yunyong happens to be one of them. He has a very fond impression of Yin Fengwu. Deep down in his heart, he does not want her to be a Japanese spy, and he still has illusions about her, so he suddenly mentioned this. question,
After listening to Fox Shisan's words, he was about to explain, when the sound of artillery suddenly rumbled, but it was the Japanese warships that launched a bombardment on Jiangxinzhou. Nishio Shouzou did not take the guerrillas on Jiangxinzhou seriously at all. The Japanese of the Third Yangtze Fleet were However, the officer wanted to avenge his colleagues. A round of shelling lasted for about a quarter of an hour. More than a dozen grave-like fortifications were collapsed, and dozens of guerrillas were killed or injured. This diverted the attention of both Hu Shisan and Xiang Yunyong. The two men separately consulted about the casualties of the troops, and strictly ordered each combat group not to be exposed, and asked them to wait for opportunities.
The three mine-clearing boats of the Third Yangtze River Fleet opened the way ahead in a Z-shaped formation. When they reached the river at the east end of Jiangxinzhou, they exploded a total of about ten mines and scattered dozens of fake mines. These fake mines affected the The commander of the Third Yangtze River Fleet's judgment of the enemy's situation made them firmly believe in Xiwei's judgment. Seeing that the bombardment did not lead to counterattack, they simply stopped the bombardment and began to plan a landing at Bawei.
The casualties of dozens of subordinates made Hu Shisan gradually feel angry. He watched the main battleship of the Japanese fleet sailing towards the river in front of him with round eyes. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his blood gradually heated up. Suddenly, he raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger. There was a crisp "bang" sound. To his left, several guerrillas quickly threw away the quilt on the gasoline barrel, and Xiang Yunyong quickly pressed the lighter. The button lit the fuse,
The sound of gunpowder detonating "chichichi" sounded. Xiang Yunyong and others quickly covered themselves and their comrades with quilts. About three seconds later, there was a loud "boom" and they felt the ground shaking. When I lifted a corner of the quilt and looked up, I saw a fireball roaring and flying out from above my head.
On the Japanese warship, many Japanese soldiers were relaxing on the deck and looking at the scenery. Suddenly, there were violent explosions one after another on Jiangxin Island. When they looked up, they saw no less than forty huge fireballs rising into the sky one after another, dragging them all the way. The flaming light flew towards the river where the three light cruisers were, "What is that?" someone exclaimed,
Be smart and shout about enemy attack, quickly take off your gun and aim at Jiangxinzhou.
Less than fifty special explosive packets were sent into the air with gunpowder. One of them exploded in the air just after it rose more than 20 meters. A huge fireball exploded, and several guerrillas below were affected and were shaken. unconscious,
"We should test fire two rounds first." Xiang Yunyong said in pain,
Fox Shisan seemed not to see him, he just raised his upper body slightly and made a few gestures skillfully.
At the same time, in the telecommunications room of the Santai Guerrilla Column Headquarters in Taixing City, an officer and two telecommunications operators were working hard. A woman wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a scarf around her face suddenly walked in.
The officer was very alert. When he felt someone coming in, he turned to face the woman and asked with a relaxed expression: "Secretary Yin, what's the matter?"
"Section Chief Zhang, I have an urgent message here that needs to be sent out immediately." Secretary Yin pulled off the scarf, revealing a beautiful face that looked both angry and smiling, and said softly,
Section Chief Zhang stood up to greet him. One of the two telegraph operators was still burying his head in the phone, while the other turned his head and glanced. Secretary Yin held a folder in his hand and faced Section Chief Zhang. When they met face to face, he suddenly smiled. Section Chief Zhang's Her heart skipped a beat, not daring to look into her eyes and quickly averted her gaze. But at this moment, her right hand was quickly handed over, and in her hand was a dagger with a flashing blue light.
