At about 9:30 a.m., Taishun County Guard Corps leader Xie Qingsong and County Magistrate Yu Shengqiao were leading a group of officers and officials from the Guard Corps and the county government to fire off firecrackers to the merchants on Guangyi Street, the largest street in Taishun County.
As they were celebrating the New Year, 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. Fei"
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" sounded, everyone's expressions froze, Xie
Qingsong and others came 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 conduct reconnaissance and found that a large number 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 does all kinds of evil. Jin Xiaoshan asked a brother to come back and report, hoping that you will provide reinforcements immediately."
"How many enemies are there in this large group of enemies? 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 attacked 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 headquarters of the self-defense brigade.
Xie Qingsong returned to the station and 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 and immediately called Fuzhou to report the matter to the Fujian Guard Command. After Jiang Guangnai went to the front line in Fuding, the work of the Guard Command was handed over to Deputy Commander Xiao Xishun. Xiao Xishun heard the news
Shocked and angry, 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 about Wan Bing, the commander of the Second Special Artillery Brigade.
The thing about the "Human Torch" 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" is so terrifying, the two hearts
I am sure a lot, and at the same time I am even more curious about the Second Special Artillery Brigade.
Wan Bing, who is also the brigade commander of the special artillery unit, said that he did not expect that the 1st Special Artillery Brigade could achieve such a result. 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 you can't
To effectively curb the Japanese navy's 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, and our navy is not enough to threaten the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet. Our air force is not large enough to control the entire territory. If this continues, it is indeed worrying. The Japanese have made it clear that they want to
Let’s work hard!”
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 asked immediately: "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 cases in which the commander-in-chief used fireworks to assassinate the Japanese aviation force in Renqiu and Zhangjiakou?"
Ouyang Yun once used giant fireworks bombs 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, and Jiang Guangnai had naturally heard of it. He thought about it and immediately understood it.
, asked 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, and 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. The rocket launcher is troublesome to load. There is basically only one launch opportunity before the battle, so 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 situation!"
Wan Bing stopped talking and looked at Shen Guanghan with four pairs of eyes at the same time.
Shen Guanghan's face turned red, and his eyes could not conceal his anger. He raised his telegraph hand and looked at Jiang Guangnai and said: "The Japanese are not human beings. They are so cruel and inhumane. They, they actually sent a partial division to sneak attack Taishunnan.
Courtyard, Mr. Jiang! It’s so tragic, the Japanese, the Japanese actually carried out a massacre in the South Courtyard——”
Shen Guanghan was stimulated and extremely angry, and he was a little incoherent.
And his words were like thunder to the four people present. The four people stood up suddenly. Jiang Guangnai rushed over and grabbed the telegram in his hand. After glancing at it, his hands shook violently with anger - "Thump thump."
Bang——" He backed away and shouted in a hissing voice: "Male Gobi——*Matsui Iwane, I and him are incompatible with each other!"
