Just when Wang Dahu and Wang Xinyun led the First Teaching Regiment to Lingbi County, Chen Jinxiu, the leader of the Third Teaching Regiment of the First Teaching Regiment and his subordinate artillery rushed towards Wuhe County.
"Five rivers and five rivers, Huaihe River and Tongtuo". This is the saying of the ancients, which means that there are five rivers in Wuhe County, namely, Huaihe River, Tuohe River, Chonghe River and Tonghe River, and they all converge in Wuhekou Town.
The name of Wuhe County also came from this. However, by the late Qing Dynasty, there were only three rivers in Wuhe.
Because Wuhe River has a well-connected water transport, it has become a grain distribution center in northeastern Anhui before the Anti-Japanese War. There are 70 large grain stores and 40 small grain stores on Shunhe Street in the county town. These grain stores are mainly purchased from northeastern Anhui.
The grain was transported to flour processing plants and oil pressing plants in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Tianjin. After the completion of the two flour mills in Baoxing and Xinfeng in Bengbu, the grain shop in Shunhe Street, Wuhe County mainly supplies these two large flour mills nearby.
According to pre-war statistics, in 1937, the grain trade volume in Wuhe County reached 40,000 shi, about 6,000 tons. The wheat alone reached 30,000 shi, 5,100 tons.
Before the war, there were more than 10,000 ships of various types such as the Huai River, fishing boats, cargo ships, etc., and the cargo transported was a variety of different types, not only with food, but also with bamboo, split materials, etc. split materials were used to live at home and burn fire. Bamboo was mainly used to make them.
Bamboo Vehicles. Wuhe River has developed water transportation, and it is a grain distribution center in northeast Anhui, which has driven the prosperity of all industries in the entire county. For example, the "Yihe Fishing Store" on Shunhe Street produces more than 300,000 fish hooks per year.
There are many varieties of land fishing, line hooks, white step hooks, hooks, slide hooks, slid hooks, shed hooks, etc., with high quality, sold to the province and abroad, and are very famous. It is precisely for these reasons that the foreign lands before the war
People call Wuhe County Xiao Shanghai.
Unfortunately, it all ended with the damn Japanese.
The Japanese army first bombed Wuhe in January 1938. By April, the Japanese army learned from the secret service lurking in Wuhe County that Wuhe County Mayor Jin Biansan had two ships of arms in custody, and began
The Wuhe County City was bombarded in a row for seven consecutive days. On the first day, the Japanese army focused on bombing dozens of ships anchored in Shunheji, killing dozens of boat people, and all the ships were blown up. The county magistrate Jin Bian
San hid in the school during the bombing of Japanese planes, hugged a child and said, "The plane is coming! Don't cry!" The next day, he disappeared. So someone said at that time: "The Japanese ghost occupied the air, and Jin Bian San
He fled when he heard the wind." The next day, three Japanese planes bombed Wuhe County again, dropped more than 20 bombs and incendiary bombs, destroyed 2,000 houses, killed and injured six or seven hundred innocent people.
Five days later, Japanese planes came to bomb again. This time, Japanese planes used their usual tricks again, throwing bombs and incendiary bombs, blew up 4,000 houses, turning Wuhe County into ruins. By September last year, Japanese planes began bombing again.
At this time, most of the residents of the county town fled, and the rest built a reed mat shed and struggled on the brink of death. Even the Japanese plane did not let go, and threw bombs and incendiary bombs at the reed mat shed.
At this moment, four ethnic scums including Zhao Lanjie and Song Guangsheng in Wuhe County, openly went to Bengbu and asked the Japanese and puppet authorities in Bengbu to establish the Japanese and puppet government of Wuhe County. On the way back, Zhao Lanjie was the head of the Wuhe District 1 Wang.
Zan Yu was arrested and handed over to County Mayor Li Dongyi to shoot him.
Li Dongyi was appointed by Sheng Zijin after he arrived in northeastern Anhui, and insisted on fighting against Japan. Unfortunately, the Japanese captured Wuhe, so Li Dongyi had to lead the county standing team to evacuate the county town. What Li Dongyi did not expect was that in May this year, Anhui Province, in Anhui Province
The government actually gave him a serious punishment.
At this time, Japanese and puppet strongholds were already everywhere in Wuhe.
Chen Jinxiu himself didn't know that due to the emergence of Liu Yimin, his fate had changed greatly. You should know that he died in history last year and was blown away by Japanese artillery fire.
Chen Jinxiu and his friends were walking towards the Wuhe River between Lingbi and Suxian. When they arrived by the Tuohe River, they were about to catch up with the Japanese in Shanggu Town, Jinpu Road to sweep the Tuohe River area, and the ships were all concentrated on the south bank of the Tuohe River by the Japanese army.
Tuohe, also known as Jiaoshui in ancient times, originated from Chailuhu, Su County. It is a transport canal connecting the three major water systems of Huang, Huai and Yangtze River opened in the first year of Daye of Emperor Yang of Sui. It is also a traditional water transport route in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
A major tributary of the Huai River. At this time, due to the disrepair of the waterway, the Tuo River has long since disappeared from the historical records, "There are millions of rice transported by the river, Huai River, Lake, Zhejiang, and the southeastern towns, and all things and treasures are invincible."
The grand occasion is that only a few tons of wooden boats can be passed through.
The Japanese army was sweeping and gathering the ships again. If the Third Regiment wanted to cross the river, they had to use their brains.
At night, the Second Special War Squadron, which cooperated with the Third Regiment to capture Wuhe, jumped into Tuohe with a gourd on his back, swam across the Japanese camp with his armed forces.
Since Zhao Yonggang was injured in a fierce battle with Tang Xiuer near Jiagou, he lie in the hospital for a few days before returning to the army. This time he led the team to teach the first brigade and the new brigade. Considering that it is far away from Wuhe County, he taught the third brigade.
The regiment's strength was limited, and Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin assigned the Second Squadron to the Third Regiment, hoping to help the Third Regiment capture Wuhe by sneak attack.
After killing the Japanese sentinels and touching the Japanese camp, Zhao Yonggang's eyes were about to spit out of fire. The Japanese army stood up a row of wooden stakes on the shore, with people tied to each wooden stake and blood solidified.
It seems that he is already dead. It is very noisy in the Japanese camp. Zhao Yong just touched it and saw that there were more than a dozen wooden boards on the ground. Each board was a Chinese woman, and her hands and feet were roped.
Tied to the wooden board, Japanese soldiers were venting their vent. In front of each board, there were Japanese soldiers waiting in line. They could not hear the cry of the women, and they probably fainted. However, those Japanese soldiers,
Hehehe, talking and gestured, very excited.
Zhao Yonggang, who had a high eye, issued a sign language order. The warriors of the Second Special War Squadron took advantage of the night to protect themselves, carried the Bayi automatic rifle, carried a pistol with a silencer, and held a short knife in their mouths.
.
When implementing the tactic of the Great Glory last year, Liu Jian led the Second Brigade, the Western Shandong Garrison Brigade, and the Southwest Shandong Garrison Brigade fought on the Jinpu Road in Guzhen area. However, he did not go deep into the southern bank of the Tuohe River east of Jinpu Road. This area was located in the area.
The Eighth Route Army has never appeared!
The Japanese soldiers who were venting their dying power in the camp did not expect that the Eighth Route Army suddenly fell from the sky and could not even run away. They watched the soldiers shoot the revenge bullets into their hearts.
The number of Japanese troops in this group is not large, and there is only one squadron. Therefore, Zhao Yonggang's Second Special Forces Squadron was completely killed. After finishing the Japanese and rescuing the arrested ship workers, the Third Regiment began to cross the river.
The bodies tied to wooden stakes were all put down, and the women tied to wooden boards were also awakened. Zhao Yonggang asked the fellow villagers to bury the remains of the people killed by the Japanese and let the women go home.
Unexpectedly, the awakened women picked up the Japanese bayonets and began to chop the Japanese heads one by one, which was beyond recognition. In the end, two young girls couldn't think of it and committed suicide with the bayonets in their hands. Zhao Yonggang asked the soldiers to
Take off the bayonets from the women's hands and let them go home.
Apart from the two suicides, there were 11 women in total, and none of them went home. Because they had no home, they could only take revenge with the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, Zhao Yonggang asked them to go home twice, but they didn't move, but instead began to
Helped the Eighth Route Army clean up the battlefield.
After the large army crossed the river, Zhao Yonggang suggested to Chen Jinxiu that the troops would be divided into two groups, and Zhao Yonggang led the Third Special Forces Squadron and a battalion, put on Japanese uniforms, and took a boat to go straight to Wuhe County to attack Wuhe County. Chen Jinxiu commanded the main force
Go south along the main road and clean up the Japanese and puppet strongholds along the way.
At this time, the moon is bright and the wind is clear. The Tuo River is like the Milky Way hanging upside down in the sky, shining with silver light waves, winding down to the southeast.
After thinking for a while, Chen Jinxiu agreed to Zhao Yonggang's suggestion and ordered the Seventh Battalion to follow Zhao Yonggang's lead. He led the Eighth Battalion, the Ninth Battalion and the Artillery Battalion under the command to advance towards Wuhe County at a rapid march speed and became the Second Special War Squadron.
and the first battalion's support.
Chen Jinxiu held Zhao Yonggang's hand and said, "You must move quickly after dividing the troops. You must arrive at Wuhe before dawn, otherwise you may lose your fighter opportunity. If there is difficulty in sneak attack, don't take risks. When the main force arrives, you will find a way to get the five.
The Japanese in the river were transferred out of the county town and destroyed it."
Zhao Yonggang laughed: "Captain Chen, you still don't know enough about the special forces. Okay, let's go, see you in Wuhe City."
After saying that, Zhao Yonggang saluted and said goodbye to Chen Jinxiu, jumped onto the ship, and began to head southeast.
At this time, everything was silent. Yue'er and Xing'er were blinking their eyes at the wooden sailboats sailing on the Tuo River. The cool breeze mobilized the sails and carried the warriors of the Eighth Route Army towards the Five Rivers.
The night sailing on the Tuo River was also the first time for the Eighth Route Army soldiers in their lives. The seventh battalion commander Wang Daojin was not sleepy at all, and he pulled Zhao Yonggang to chat.
Wang Daojin was from Xingguo, Jiangxi Province. He joined the Red Army in 1930. He was an old soldier of the 18th Red Regiment and now he has become the battalion commander of the 7th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Education Brigade.
Back then, more than 100 young people from Wang Daojin participated in the Red Army. After the Battle of Xiangjiang River, one out of ten remained. Now, he and Zhao Yonggang talked about Wuhe. Because the troops before departure compiled a copy of Anhui based on the investigation situation, the troops set out to set up a copy of Anhui based on the investigation.
A little knowledge about Northeast China, Wang Daojin has a certain understanding of the situation in Wuhe.
According to Wang Daojin, after occupying the Five Rivers, you must go westward to capture Linhuai Pass. Wuhe has been bombed by the Japanese army and there is nothing good. The Linhuai Pass in Fengyang is on the Huai River.
There are many good things in the famous Dashi Town. Maybe you can even row a boat and fish on the Huai River, so that the soldiers can have a tooth and go to the sacrificial ceremony.
Zhao Yonggang is serious in his daily life. Seeing Wang Daojin's expression on his face, his mind was a little lively. He thought that Linhuai Pass is now a large stronghold of the Japanese army and controls the shipping of the Huai River, so he must have a lot of supplies. If Linhuai Pass is taken down,
The Japanese army in Bengbu will definitely reinforce, and then another ambush will be launched. Hehe, the Japanese will be in trouble again.
