Zhang Dai of the Ming Dynasty wrote a book called "Night Sailing Ship", which is an encyclopedic work on Chinese cultural knowledge, including astronomy and geography, hundreds of classics and history, three religions and nine streams, gods and ghosts, and everything. The title "Night Sailing Ship" is mainly because of the night
Ships are a symbol of the long and arduous journey in the South. The long nights and lonely journeys make it a good way to spend time if you can blow your mind while traveling all over the world.
It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army is not an ordinary traveler, and Zhao Yonggang and Wang Daojin are not people who like to talk loudly. The two of them chatted intermittently.
It is midsummer at this time, and the water level of the Tuo River is high. It doesn't matter how many people are on each boat. It doesn't matter if the wooden sailing boat has a slightly deeper draft. In addition, the Tuo River is not as good as the Huai River and Hui River. Usually there are only fishing boats and scattered fishing boats.
If the little devils hadn't raided and intercepted the cargo ships, it would have been difficult for Zhao Yonggang and the others to find so many ships at once. In this way, the Japanese and puppet troops may have thought that there was not much oil and water on the Tuo River, and there were not so many strongholds and strongholds along the Tuo River.
The boatmen were all experienced boatmen on the Tuo River, so the Eighth Route Army's night voyage on the Tuo River went very smoothly.
At this time, the water systems of the Huaihe River, Huihe River, and Tuohe River had not been renovated after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the Tuohe River entered Tuohu Lake, it merged with the Huaihe River into the Huaihei River at Dongqiaokou south of Wuhe County. In this case, the Eighth Route Army did not need to disembark, but could directly
Go ashore at Shunhe Street Pier in Wuhe County.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Second Special War Squadron of the Eighth Route Army and the Seventh Teaching Battalion successfully arrived at the Shunhe Street Pier by boat.
The sudden arrival of an army, no matter what kind of army it is, will alert the defenders of Wuhe County. No, the Japanese sentries guarding the city became excited. They called and blew their whistles to report. After a while, a
The Japanese patrol team rushed towards the Shunhe Street Pier. Zhao Yonggang turned a blind eye to the reaction of the Japanese sentry and patrol team. After getting off the boat, he straightened his military uniform and ordered Wang Daojin to assemble his team and prepare to enter the city.
Following Wang Daojin's command in Japanese, the 800-strong Seventh Teaching Battalion lined up neatly at the Shunhe Street Pier. Zhao Yonggang waved his hand, and the leading soldier's gun was hung with a plaster flag, forming two columns.
Following Zhao Yonggang and the Second Special Operations Squadron, he walked swaggeringly towards the oncoming Japanese patrol.
The Japanese patrol team was quite nervous at the beginning. After seeing clearly that it was one of their own, they relaxed unconsciously. However, a second lieutenant leading the team still asked for the password as a routine. After all, there is no need to be careful!
Zhao Yonggang stopped, with a smile on his tired face, and said jokingly: "Second Lieutenant, can a fisherman in Hokkaido know the name of a restaurant owner in Hiroshima?"
After saying this, the Japanese second lieutenant also laughed. After laughing, he saluted again, and then asked the colonel which division he belonged to?
Zhao Yonggang pointed to the badge on his chest and continued to say in a joking tone: "Second Lieutenant, didn't the Army Academy tell you what you should ask and what you shouldn't ask? Well, we are a special force directly under the North China Front.
, was ordered to cooperate with the Inoue Brigade to search for important targets in this area. He quickly took us to see the highest commander here and arranged for us to rest. After traveling all night, the soldiers were so tired that they couldn't even open their eyes."
The Japs in Wuhe County are just garrison troops. They have been stationed here since they came from Japan. They have never fought against the Chinese regular army, let alone fought against the Eighth Route Army Instructor Division's special forces. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yonggang said that they were from North China
The special operations team directly under the front army came here to find important targets, and they really frightened the young second lieutenant.
The Japanese second lieutenant looked at the special forces behind Zhao Yonggang. Their helmets were all covered with cloth strips, and there were grenades on their front shoulders. They were holding a gun he had never seen before. Looking at the Inoue brigade, the equipment was also neat.
Very well, infantry artillery, grenades, Type 92, and crutches are definitely equipment only available to elite divisions. Looking at the signboard of the soldiers of the Inoue Brigade, it clearly shows that it is the unit number of the 114th Division.
The Japanese second lieutenant was relieved. Although he did not belong to the North China Front Army, he graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He knew the situation of each unit of the Japanese army. Like the 114th Division stationed in Xuzhou, he knew who the division commander was and who the chief of staff was.
Who are the brigade leaders of each brigade? He didn't know clearly whether he believed it or not.
After believing Zhao Yonggang's words, the Japanese second lieutenant saluted Zhao Yonggang again and reported: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel: Welcome to Wuhe County, Anhui Province, China. I hope you like it here."
After Zhao Yonggang returned the salute, the Japanese second lieutenant turned around and led the patrol towards the city.
Perhaps in order to show the military appearance and discipline of the Wuhe garrison in front of the elite field troops, the Japanese second lieutenant actually shouted the command one by one, asking his patrol of only a dozen people to hold their chests and heads up as much as possible, in unison, and showed great
Excellent training level of the Imperial Japanese Army.
In fact, when you get here, Wuhe County is equivalent to falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. You must know that Wuhe County has Bengbu, which is heavily garrisoned, in the west, Xuyi County on the south bank of Hongze Lake in the east, Lingbi County in the north, and Jiashan County in the south.
Northeast Anhui is a typical hinterland under Japanese rule. There has been no major war since the Japanese occupation. A small group of Japanese soldiers can casually go to the countryside to raid. Even if the Japanese army was more vigilant, they would not expect the Eighth Route Army to suddenly descend from the sky.
, and invaded Wuhe County. Therefore, most of the Japanese garrison stationed in Wuhe County were in important strongholds along the Huaihe River and Huihe River. The county seat could only hold up a squadron of troops.
Kodama Ibuka, captain of the Japanese Army's Five Rivers Garrison, had already been transferred to the reserve. Due to the shortage of Japanese troops, reservists were mobilized to re-enlist. Kodama Ibuka said goodbye to his wife and children and came to China. However, Kodama Ibuka voluntarily re-enlisted.
The reason is that the current inflation in Japan makes life difficult for ordinary people. Kodama Ibuka wanted to come to China to make a fortune so that his wife and children could live a prosperous life. It was also for this reason that he, who had the rank of major, refused to join the permanent division.
We went there and asked many talents to be incorporated into the local garrison. Originally, we wanted to go to big cities such as Shanghai, Wuhan, and Tianjin, but in the end we got the Wuhe garrison on the Huaihe River. With this, Ibuka Kodama was satisfied.
Yes, because there are many boats on the Huaihe River, there is no need to worry about making a fortune.
Ibuka Kodama got up in the morning and went out for morning exercises. After breakfast, she sat alone at the garrison headquarters, thinking about how to get more money. After thinking about it, she felt that the most important thing was to let the people return to Wuhe County.
Come and make the market prosperous. If everyone has run away, where will there be money?
Thinking of this, Ibuka Kodama couldn't help but curse the aviation secret service. The aviation forces all worked stupidly. He arrived late, and when he arrived at Wuhe, Wuhe County was already like this. Later, he learned that the reason why the Japanese army bombed Wuhe was
He County was established because the county magistrate had two shiploads of arms, and the weapons were not exploded. Kodama Ibuka thought, wouldn't the idiots like the secret service and the aviation force take some measures to quietly seize the two shiploads of arms?
What? There are many wealthy locals in China, and the arms market is so big. Wouldn’t you sell it to them and let them use it to protect their homes and fight against the Communist troops?
Ibuka Kodama couldn't help but yelled: "Baga! All Baga!"
When Ibuka Kodama was scolding, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and listened. A fleet full of troops came from the direction of Shunhe Street Pier. Ibuka Kodama did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered a battle signal. The troops
Get into combat position, prepare for battle, and find out what kind of army this army is.
Ibuka Kodama put down the phone, took off the command knife hanging on the wall, took out the Nanbu pistol from the drawer, and checked the magazine.
After getting ready, Ibuka Kodama picked up the phone and asked Shunhe Street Wharf if they knew what kind of army this sudden appearance was.
This time it was not bad. The sentry reported that the incoming troops had disembarked and disembarked without taking any hostile actions. Judging from the uniforms, they should be their own troops. The squad leader has already led a patrol team to contact them.
After hearing this, Ibuka Kodama said, "So it's one of our own" and put down the phone.
Not long after, Ibuka Kodama received a report again. The troops landing at Shunhe Street were the special operations team directly under the North China Front and the Inoue Battalion of the 114th Division. They were said to be looking for important targets. The leader of the team was a lieutenant colonel who said he was
After traveling all night, I asked for accommodation.
Originally, Ibuka Kodama should have immediately ordered a report to be sent to the troops of the 17th Division stationed in Bengbu, asking them to inquire with the North China Front Army and the 114th Division to see if it was indeed true. But when he heard that it was a lieutenant colonel leading the North China Front Army
The direct special forces and an infantry brigade came to this area to look for important targets. Ibuka Kodama immediately understood that this was to find the missing Princess Junmiya Hideko, and it was a confidential mission. It is likely that the North China Front Army's secret service had some clues.
An elite special forces team has been sent.
This is not because Ibuka Kodama is very smart. The key is that the matter of Princess Junmiya Hideko is known to the whole world. Her Highness has not been found yet. She disappeared under the protection of the North China Front Army. If they don't search for it, will the Kwantung Army let the Kwantung Army do it?
Or will Central China send troops to search for it?
Ibuka Kodama no longer hesitated and ordered the officers and soldiers of the garrison headquarters to prepare to receive the distant guests. He also dressed up in military appearance, walked out of the team headquarters, and stood at the gate with a few officers to greet them.
Wuhe County is not big, and the distance from Shunhe Street to the Japanese garrison camp is not too far. The small Japanese patrol team guided Zhao Yonggang and the others, and it didn't take long to walk from Shunhe Street to the original Wuhe Street.
The barracks of the He County Standing Army is now the barracks of the Japanese Army Garrison.
Although Ibuka Kodama is only the commander of the garrison now, before he was transferred to the reserves, he was also a major officer of the permanent division, and he has a sharp eye. Not to mention the special force in front, it is a highly confidential unit in the Japanese army.
, let alone Ibuka Kodama, many people have never seen it, or even heard of it. Ibuka Kodama can't figure out what equipment the special forces have, but looking at the murderous look on his body, he knows that they are elite
The elite one among them was the Inoue Battalion of the 114th Division, which made Kodama Ibuka's eyes beat with excitement. The equipment was much better than the Wuhe garrison!
Ibuka Kodama took a breath, stepped forward, and reported to His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel: Commander of the Japanese Army Itsuka Garrison, Army Major Ibuka Kodama is reporting to you, please give instructions!"
Zhao Yonggang never expected that the Japanese army would be so cooperative, standing at the door to greet him, and his report was quite satisfactory, so he raised his hand with a smile, touched the edge of his helmet, and said: "Your Majesty, Major: I have been ordered to come to Wuhe territory to perform a mission.
, please cooperate and support. Thank you, Major, for your enthusiasm. We will discuss it in detail in the office."
After sitting down in the office, Zhao Yonggang introduced that since the disappearance of Princess Chun Gong Xiuzi, the North China Front Army has been strictly ordering the troops in the Xuzhou area and the East Henan area to concentrate on searching. However, after searching for so long, they still have not found it. Later, the front army's secret service agency
Various intelligences were received. Some said that Her Royal Highness was seriously injured after being chased by Liu Yimin, and was rescued by a nun. She stayed in the temple to recuperate and practice Buddhism; some said that Her Royal Highness had infiltrated the Eighth Route Army's art troupe.
She once performed for the common people between Su County and Si County; some said that Her Royal Highness felt that she could not get close to Liu Yimin and other senior Communist cadres without joining the Communist cadres, so she dressed up as a young student who had retreated from Hefei and infiltrated.
After attending the cadre training course organized by Sheng Zijin, director of the Ninth District Administrative Office of the Communist Party of China, she won the trust of Sheng Zijin’s underground members of the Communist Party of China and joined the Communist Party of China. Some even said that after the battle with Liu Yimin, Her Royal Highness pretended to surrender and followed him.
Liu Yimin was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him. Wait, etc., it was all a bunch of useless information. The day before yesterday, the front army's secret service received a report and found a small-scale *** task force in Wuhe County. One of them was a woman.
The image of the cadre is similar to that of the princess. The front army commander Ma ordered our troops who were in Suxian County to quickly go south to Wuhe to find the whereabouts of the princess. After finding her, they protected her and returned to Qingdao. From Qingdao, she took a flight back to China and no longer performed the original mission.
What Zhao Yong just made up was true, and it became completely true when I heard it in the ears of Ibuka Kodama. Ibuka Kodama immediately expressed his stance that he would cooperate with the action. As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess is in Wuhe, she will definitely find every way to find her and ensure her safety.
.
As if to prove that his promise was sincere, Ibuka Kodama led Zhao Yonggang to the Wuhe Defense Map. Looking at the map, he introduced the distribution of strongholds and troop deployment to Zhao Yonggang. Then the two of them began to study the princess's final plan.
Possible areas. In the end, the two people decided to use the southern area of Huihe River as the key search area. They concentrated all their forces and attacked in separate directions. They did not let go of any suspicious clues. They must find the small *** task force and get it.
I want to know whether there is Her Royal Highness the Princess inside.
Ibuka Kodama was very dedicated and immediately called all the strongholds to ask them to prepare and cooperate with the special forces as soon as they arrived.
After Ibuka Kodama finished the phone call, he remembered that Mr. Lieutenant Colonel had been on a long march and was continuing to rest, so he said a little apologetically: "Sir, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I am too impatient. I have caused you trouble, please take care of me. I will go and arrange it for you right away.
Eat, rest, and then we’ll take action again after you’ve rested.”
At this moment, fierce gunshots and grenade explosions suddenly came from the scene. Kodama Ibuka was so shocked that she didn't know what was going on, so she turned around and called the guards.
Zhao Yonggang still had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Your Excellency, Major, there is no need to shout. Your guards will not come."
The only reason Zhao Yonggang stayed patiently with Jing Shen Erdama was to buy time for the troops to move. Now that the gunshots were fired, the use value of Jing Shen Erdama was gone, and Zhao Yonggang didn't bother to talk to him anymore and left.
Pressing hard with both hands, Ibuka Kodama was forced to sit on the chair. He heard the teasing voice of His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel: "You stupid pig! I am indeed a special force, but not a special force of the North China Front."
This team is the Special Forces Team of the Eighth Route Army Instructor. Please listen carefully to me. My name is Zhao Yonggang, and I am the captain of the Second Squadron of the Eighth Route Army Special War Command. I have met your Princess Chun Gong Xiuzi and fought against her. I was also injured.
.But she didn’t get any favors either, and was caught alive by our teacher Liu Yimin. Now that you know everything, it’s time to die without regrets!”
Kodama Jing Shen let out a howl: "Baga!" Taking advantage of the situation, she lowered her head and grabbed Zhao Yonggang's legs with both hands, trying to knock him to the ground and catch the thief and the king.
Zhao Yong just sneered, and when he pressed his hands hard on Jing Shen's shoulders, he heard a click. Jing Shen's shoulder blades seemed to be broken, and he could not complete the sneak attack. He groaned in pain and fell down.
On the ground.
As soon as Zhao Yong finished his move, he kicked out with his right foot, completely knocking Ibuka Kodama to the ground, then stepped on his neck with his foot, and with a strong force, Ibuka Kodama was completely sent back to his hometown.
After cleaning up Jingshen Erdama, Zhao Yong just walked into the courtyard and met Wang Daojin who had just walked into the courtyard. Zhao Yonggang frowned and asked him: "What happened? There are less than 200 Japanese in Wuhe City."
, why still shoot?”
Wang Daojin smiled bitterly and said: "It's all the traitors who caused the trouble. After cleaning up the Japanese in the barracks, the troops split up to clean up the Japanese and puppet troops who were still on the city fortifications. Everything went smoothly. I didn't expect that they were catching the puppet county magistrate.
At that time, something went wrong. When a soldier from the Third Company saw that Wuhe City was in ruins, the people lived in shacks built on reed mats, and the pseudo-county magistrate's residence was neatly tidied, and there were duck eggs for breakfast, he couldn't help but
I cursed motherfucker. Now the secret was revealed. The security team in the pseudo county government were all ruffians and bandits. They were much smarter than the Japanese military security team. They immediately knew that it was the Eighth Route Army disguised as the Japanese army and came for a sneak attack. Ping Ping Pong
The pong is opened."
Zhao Yong just listened and laughed. No matter how elite the 7th Teaching Battalion is, it is not a special force. It is very possible for the soldiers to speak Chinese in a hurry. It seems that this time, the cadres and soldiers of the 7th Teaching Battalion have to be dealt with.
For Japanese language training, they must be like a battalion, consciously switching roles when performing tasks, and being able to think in Japanese.
Zhao Yonggang asked: "How is the battle going?"
The arrogance of the main battalion came out of Wang Daojin. He smiled and said: "How dare those pseudo-guards fight against the Seventh Jiao Battalion? You can't even touch the signboard if you don't know how to read! Listen, the gunfire has stopped. The battle is over.
"
Zhao Yonggang stopped worrying and turned back to the house, calling for the radio operator to send a report to Chen Jinxiu.
Dear book friends: There will be another update in the evening. Shanren will seize the time and try to publish it around 1 o'clock. Thank you all!
