The night of September 18, 1941 was destined to be a night of miracles.
After Liu Yimin led the southbound detachment to arrive at Wusongkou, he received a signal from Li Lingfeng. By this time, Greater Shanghai could be said to have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Even if the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanghai were mobilized urgently at this time, they would definitely not be able to stop them.
The attack was carried out by a well-equipped first column and a cavalry column.
Liu Yimin immediately ordered a mixed artillery regiment composed of troops from the artillery brigade and air defense brigade that accompanied the ship to the south to immediately disembark at Wusongkou Pier, guard Wusongkou Pier, seize all ships at Wusongkou Pier and Baoshan Pier, and block the entry and exit of ships from various terminals in Shanghai into the Yangtze River.
aisle.
Immediately afterwards, Li Lingfeng, who controlled Wusongkou, and the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron led by Wang Laohu, boarded the patrol hall and motorboat again, taking the lead, guiding the fleet to ride the wind and waves in the Huangpu River and move quickly towards Shanghai.
The battle plan has been formulated long ago. Which troops will dock at which dock is determined in advance. As the fleet moves along, troops are constantly landing at the dock on the way to perform their own tasks.
The entire combat operation to capture Shanghai was codenamed "Single Strike". From this name, we can know that the Eighth Route Army's capture of Shanghai was different from the Battle of Songhu and the historical liberation war.
The siege of Shanghai. Both battles were long-lasting sieges of a solidly fortified city with heavily defended troops. A large number of people were sacrificed. The purpose of seizing Shanghai was to seize the space where the Japanese defenders in Shanghai were extremely empty.
At this time, the Japanese army must be stabbed into the heart with a knife. Of course, they must hit accurately, hit hard, hit hard, and hit quickly. They must use a fleet to transport the troops directly to the Bund through the Huangpu River. After landing, they can directly occupy the urban area of Shanghai.
, and then develop to the suburbs of Shanghai, without giving the little devils any chance to resist. They may not even attack the suburbs of Shanghai, but only the urban area of Shanghai, docks, warehouses, and Japanese barracks and ammunition depots.
The Eighth Route Army's fleet was so large, and it blocked the Huangpu River channel, and it was difficult to keep it secret. Ordinary ships thought it was a Japanese fleet heading towards Shanghai through Wusongkou. But seeing that the Japanese and puppet spies were
The situation was different in my eyes. At that time, there was actually an anti-smuggling ship from the Marine Police Corps patrolling Baoshan Port. The puppet soldiers first saw the fleet with the sun flag flying on the ship, and then saw the warship, with the ship towing behind it.
Long wooden boats, wooden rafts, and then the Eighth Route Army wearing Japanese military uniforms began to seize the ships and goods on the dock. If there was anything they didn't understand, they immediately used the familiarity of the terrain to flee for their lives. Among them were some hardcore traitors who took advantage of the situation.
The radio on the ship reported to the Japanese and puppet troops that it was suspected that the Eighth Route Army fleet had passed Wusongkou and was planning a surprise attack on Shanghai.
The reason for suspicion is that the Japanese flag was flying on the fleet, and the soldiers on the ship were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, including the Japanese soldiers who went to seize the ships and cargo. They all spoke Japanese, and the die-hard traitors of the Marine Police also
Not sure whether it was the Eighth Route Army or not.
It's strange to say that the Eighth Route Army is in North China, so far away from Shanghai, but the first thing the puppet troops think of is the Eighth Route Army coming to attack Shanghai. People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. The Shandong Eighth Route Army led by Liu Yimin has a brilliant record. The Japanese and puppet troops in Shanghai
I usually like to speculate when I have nothing to do, wondering whether the Eighth Route Army from Qingdao will also attack Shanghai in a surprise attack on Tianjin. I pondered and thought about it, and I really thought about the Eighth Route Army.
Specious reports that suspected that the Eighth Route Army fleet had passed Wusongkou were reported to the Thirteenth Army Commander Sawada Shigeru and Chief of Staff Tang Chuan Yasuo. These two guys still did not believe it and hurriedly ordered the troops to move to the strongholds along the Huangpu River.
The garrison troops investigated the situation.
Sawada Shigeru was adjusted from the position of deputy chief of staff to the commander of the 13th Army, and Tangkawa Yasuo was adjusted from the position of chief of the Strategy Section of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters to the chief of staff of the 13th Army. Both of them are Japanese soldiers.
One of the think tanks who launched the war of aggression against China, they could not believe that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly attack Shanghai. This was incredible.
However, there are many Japanese military intelligence agencies in Shanghai, and they are accustomed to claiming credit and rewards. These guys have a keen sense of smell and a wide eye. Naturally, they also received intelligence that they suspected that the Eighth Route Army fleet passed through Wusongkou, and reported it to everyone. Konoe article
Ma, Sugimoto, and Tojo Hideki obtained this information through the intelligence system of the General Staff Headquarters, and reported it to the Emperor. However, when they reported it to Emperor Hirohito, it was no longer a suspicion that the Eighth Route Army fleet passed through Wusongkou.
, but the Eighth Route Army has already entered the urban area of Shanghai.
Shiliupu Wharf is the largest wharf in Shanghai and even the Far East. The autumn air is crisp in September, which is when the Yangtze River waterway is busy. It is the time when the whistle blows and the porter's trumpet sounds. But now under the iron heel of the Japanese army
The Shiliupu Pier looked lifeless in the stormy weather, and the lights on the pier were like will-o'-the-wisps.
Shiliupu has gradually formed a market on the shore as early as the first year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty. Fishermen, salt collectors, farmers, etc. often exchanged goods and drank and had gatherings here. However, it was not until the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years of the Qing Dynasty that "
The place name "Shiliupu". At that time, in order to
To defend against the Taiping Army's attack, local officials in Shanghai County set up a regiment training organization, and established a joint defense organization among the shops inside and outside Shanghai County. They named it "Pu" and were responsible for the security of the area. The original plan was to divide it into
There are 27 shops, but due to various reasons, only 16 shops are actually divided into 16 shops. The 16th shop is the largest area among the 16 shops, covering the area outside Dadongmen of Shanghai County to Chenghao in the west, Huangpu River in the east, and Xiaoxiao in the north.
Dongmen Street borders the French Concession and extends to Wanyu Pier Street and Wangjia Pier Street in the south. In 1909, Shanghai County implemented local autonomy, and the names of each shop were canceled and disappeared. Since Shiliupu is located in Shanghai Port
The busiest Huangpu Riverside. Domestic passenger and freight routes are concentrated here, and there are many docks. The passenger flow is huge. Passengers and Shanghai residents call this place Shiliupu by word of mouth, and the name Shiliupu has been fixed.
.
Before the Northern Expedition, Shiliupu was the shipping center and commercial center of Shanghai. Dozens of large and small wharves along the river were lined with sails and rafters. Wholesale shops for silver shops, leather goods, seafood, local goods, cotton cloth, and medicinal materials were lined up in rows. The end was extremely prosperous.
After the Northern Expedition, Shanghai's commercial center gradually moved northward. Many large shops, banks, and banks moved into the concession, and the prosperity of the Shiliupu area was slightly reduced. Especially after the January 28th Incident and the August 13th Incident.
During the war, many shops in the Shiliupu area were bombed into ruins. Merchants flocked into the concession. Shiliupu looked a bit dilapidated.
Wu Jiguang, head of the Shanghai Police Intelligence Section, led several agents to the China Merchants Wharf in Shiliupu early and lurked down, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Eighth Route Army fleet.
At ten o'clock in the evening, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the direction of Wusongjiang River. As soon as Wu Jiguang heard it, he knew that the Japanese army had discovered that the Eighth Route Army had arrived at Shangnu, and the two armies began to fight.
Wu Jiguang felt nervous. He didn't know whether the fleet originally planned to disembark in the direction of Shiliupu would arrive on time.
Wu Jiguang's judgment was very accurate. The gunfire coming from the direction of Wusong River was indeed an exchange of fire between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army. However, at this time, it entered the Wusong River from the Huangpu River to the Hongqiao Airport, Marine Corps Airport and the Japanese-controlled area of the public concession.
The attacking Eighth Route Army had already landed. The cavalry of one color rushed quickly along the wide road. It was clear that they were going straight to the Japanese airport and the headquarters of the Thirteenth Army.
In Wu Jiguang's eager anticipation, the lights of the Eighth Route Army fleet pierced the night sky and rushed towards Shiliupu. Wu Jiguang finally felt relieved.
By this time, the Huangpu River case was already in chaos. However, Shanghai was the rear area of the Japanese army. In order to whitewash peace and maintain the abnormal prosperity of Shanghai, the Japanese army did not set up strongholds in commercial centers like Shiliupu, but only stationed police and military police.
During the maintenance of law and order, most of the military police and police were hanging out in the song and dance hall, and Shiliupu Pier was undefended. Only the policemen on duty were shouting and reporting desperately to their superiors on the phone:
The Eighth Route Army invades the upper core!
The Eighth Route Army fleet that rushed to Shiliupu docked. What docked at China Merchants Port were warships and ships carrying armored regiments, cars, and armored vehicles. Because China Merchants Port is a pier, all of them are iron-clad and armored piers, which are suitable for docking warships.
,freighter.
The first ones to land were naturally the patrol boat, Li Lingfeng on the motorboat, the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron and the No. 1 Sniper Squadron led by Wang Laohu. As soon as they saw Wu Jiguang and took over, Li Lingfeng said to Wu Jiguang: "My mission is to knock out the Japanese army."
The intelligence agency, gendarmerie agency and Wang Puppet No. 76 headquarters in Shanghai. The task of the Shanghai Secret Service is to guide me, but you can’t be exposed, just sit in the car and guide me.”
When Wu Jiguang heard this, he immediately said: "We are ready. Each squadron will have one person, and each squadron will have a key target."
Immediately afterwards, Wu Jiguang suggested to Li Lingfeng that Shanghai was a large area and marching on foot was slow. It was better to wait for the vehicles to go ashore and advance by car to prevent the agents from escaping.
Li Lingfeng waved his hand: "Can't wait! Detain and requisition all vehicles found along the way!",
After speaking, Li Lingfeng ordered Wang Laohu to lead the Special Operations Squadron 1 to set off immediately.
Cheng Hesheng, who was behind Wu Jiguang, stepped out and led Wang Laohu and No. 1 Squadron away.
Soon, two other special operations squadrons and two sniper squadrons led by Wang Tongsheng, political commissar of the Special Operations Command, arrived by boat and landed. Li Lingfeng immediately ordered each squadron to go into battle and follow the comrades of the Intelligence Section.
The Eighth Route Army fought tanks, and armored vehicles began to come ashore. The modified warships and ship bow decks became retractable bridges, which were set up on the pier. Tanks, armored vehicles, and cars rumbled onto the river bank.
Heading towards the urban area of Shanghai under night.
After Liu Yimin, Cai Zhong, Gao Yuan, Cheng Cuilin, and Zhou Yi landed, they immediately set up their headquarters in the China Merchants Building and began to command their troops to clear out the Japanese and puppet troops in downtown Shanghai.
