The gunfire in Hankou did not stop until daybreak the next day. Seven Japanese soldiers with disabled legs and incontinence were found at three o'clock in the morning. Only one was conscious but could not speak a complete sentence. The Japanese soldiers
He and all the Japanese doctors in the concession tried their best to treat him, and finally in the early morning
At five o'clock, it became clear that the Seventh Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army was responsible. The Japanese troops were furious and immediately gathered their troops. They rushed fiercely towards the Hankou station of the Seventh Army in the direction of the Nanyang Building. They wounded and stabbed more than thirty Hu Zongduo with rifle butts and bayonets along the way.
Among the 19th Army garrison officers and soldiers, three officers and soldiers died.
Bai Chongxi, who was carefully planning and planning Ye Kaixin's 44th Army in Wuchang, was shocked when he received the emergency report. Hearing that the Japanese army had killed and injured dozens of garrison officers and soldiers, he refused to listen to dissuasion and drove through the third floor like crazy.
The blockade is about to rush to the Seventh Army station. Ming
Knowing that he had been plotted against, Bai Chongxi couldn't bear it anymore and was furious. He immediately ordered Hu Zongduo to mobilize the army to surround hundreds of Japanese soldiers. He raised his gun and fired into the sky as a warning. If the Japanese army did not stop their atrocities, they would use machine guns to fire him. He would be held responsible for all the crimes.
Bai Chongxi takes charge!
After Bai Chongxi issued the first order, he thought briefly, gritted his teeth and issued a series of emergency orders again: ordering the artillery regiments of the 19th Army stationed in the western suburbs of Hankou to all aim at the Japanese Concession and prepare for battle; ordering Ye Kaixin's 44th Army Artillery Stationed in Wuchang to
The Corps mobilized urgently, built positions as quickly as possible, and aimed at the Japanese concession across the river; ordered the garrison regiment of the Seventh Army and the divisions of the Nineteenth Army to surround the Japanese concession, concentrated machine guns and more than two hundred mortars, arrived near the river bank, and aimed at the pier.
Japanese warships on board.
As intensive gunfire rang out, a massive military deployment as large as Mount Tai was immediately displayed in front of the Japanese.
Seeing the strong reaction of the Chinese army, even the arrogant and ignorant Japanese did not dare to act rashly. Faced with the murderous intent and tit-for-tat confrontation of tens of thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers, they gradually surrounded the enemy with the same hatred, and the Japanese army came in anger to seek trouble.
Finally compromised. The Japanese consul, military attaché, and garrison commander left a series of vicious words and immediately withdrew to the military camp in the concession.
The eight destroyers and gunboats in the river received orders from the Japanese naval commander and were in the process of emergency, preparing to bombard the Chinese military camp in Hankou, the seat of the government and other important facilities. Suddenly, they saw that the muzzles of the fortresses in the river defense had been raised, and more people on both sides of the Yangtze River were fired.
Countless light and heavy machine guns and mortars were set up densely. Surprised, they immediately reported this special situation.
Soon, the Japanese concession was surrounded by more than 20,000 Chinese troops. Hundreds of artillery in the western suburbs and on the opposite bank were all aimed at the concession. Information such as the Japanese consul, military attache, commercial counselor and other officials came one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, they continued to fight.
It was bound to be a doomed situation. He immediately overwhelmed a group of naval fleet officers who were furious and had never suffered a loss since the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894.
, asking them to immediately give up the retaliatory attack, withdraw the fleet to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and explain loudly that the Chinese army has been prepared. If they rashly launch a retaliatory attack at this time, even if a large number of Chinese soldiers and civilians are killed, hundreds of their own garrison troops will be under artillery fire.
The battleships under his command, the nearly two thousand overseas Chinese, and all the wealth in the concession would all be destroyed. It was really not worth the gain.
A dozen Japanese officers at all levels who felt that their dignity had been insulted cursed and threatened to commit seppuku. However, under the reality of being outnumbered and disparate in military strength, they could only howl but did not dare to order an attack. An imminent local war came to an abrupt end.
, the two sides turned into a confrontation full of gunpowder, and each urgently reported to their superiors to seek a final solution.
Li Zongren, who held the power of the Nanjing government, Xie Chi, Zhang Ji, Xu Chongzhi and other veterans of the special committee were panicked after receiving the emergency report. At this time, Tang Shengzhi's old troops in Hunan were still hanging on and resisting. Guangzhou
Zhang Fakui just deliberately acquired Li Jishen's territory and broke up with the Guangxi clique. A war was about to begin. The ambitious Chiang Kai-shek, who was jumping up and down in Shanghai, was gathering people to prepare for political chaos.
In an attempt to overthrow the current coalition government, the Communist Party and other parties continue to launch civil wars. The Guangxi clique and the Xishan Conference faction, which have made no achievements in the Northern Expedition, are verbally and verbally criticizing them. Slogans such as "counter-revolutionary" and "new warlords" have been rang out. If
At this juncture, if there is another Sino-Japanese war in Hankou, the coalition government at the top of the storm will not only collapse immediately, but may also be infamous for the ages as a "traitor".
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Zongren immediately invited puppet chairman Lin Sen and party and government veteran Tan Yankai to urgently discuss countermeasures. Although Lin Sen was dim-sighted, he also proposed that Foreign Minister Wu Chaoshu rush to the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai for communication and negotiation, and at the same time asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately report to Japan
The Consulate in Nanjing made a strong protest, saying that the solution is to be tough on the surface but soft on the outside. We have to take into account both face and inside, and we have to be tough on both sides.
Tan Yankai reminded Li Zongren that the Japanese warships that had retreated from Hankou in anger should take the opportunity to cause trouble along the river and injure our soldiers and civilians. It would be best to urgently order the troops stationed along the river to take precautions.
In the afternoon, Zhu Peide called An Yi again and summoned An Yi to the Governor's Mansion in Nanchang City. An Yi looked extremely surprised after hearing the briefing, and immediately praised Bai Chongxi for his handling of the situation appropriately, with courtesy, benefit and integrity, and he was worthy of being a general.
Zhu Peide was very moved by An Yi's loud praise of his enemy. He nodded in praise and handed the urgent telegram from Li Zongren to An Yi:
"General Li Delin wants us to put up a ready posture in Jiujiang and Hukou to prevent the frenzied Japanese navy from launching a surprise attack. What do you think of this problem?"
An Yi put down the message and hesitated for a moment before replying: "My nephew thinks there is no need to make a big noise. After all, the conflict occurred in Hankou, hundreds of miles upstream. We cannot overreact to this emergency, otherwise Jiujiang's
Many Japanese business companies and expatriates will fear
Panic, once the momentum spreads and they ask the top management for help, they might provoke the Japanese army, and then they will create a big enemy for no reason. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi just watch the joke easily. Although the Japanese are very hateful, China
There must be a battle between the days, but not now!
The nephew thinks that it is enough to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. Uncle De can secretly order Brother Jin's New Ninth Army and Brother Zhu's New Third Army to quietly prepare for emergencies, especially the mortar companies of each division, to enter the highest combat readiness state. If Japan
The warship really dares to
We opened fire and rushed to the shore to approach the warship and blast it. No matter how powerful his naval gun was, he couldn't hit the mortar group under his nose. I guess General Hu Zongduo used this trick. We can learn it now.
For use now.
However, I think it is unlikely that the Japanese army will attack us. We don’t need to worry too much. If he really dares to touch us, we will deal with him twice as hard. Once this is done, we can take the opportunity to drive away all the Japanese and take back the lost land in Jiujiang.
If you are not careful, you may become a national hero. If you lose, you will be in a confrontation with each other, but you can win the hearts of the people.
No matter how powerful the Japanese naval guns are, they can't reach the shore. Why don't they run away after firing the shells? I don't believe that they dare to transport troops from home, so far away. The British will not agree! In short, no matter how we deal with it, we are very proactive.
In the end, the central government will have to clean up the mess."
"That's right! That's right! You boy is really as cunning as a fox!" Zhu Peide pointed at An Yi and smiled happily, and then ordered the adjutant to issue orders to Jin Handing and Zhu Shigui according to An Yi's opinion.
An Yi knew very well that it was not that Zhu Peide had not thought of how to deal with it, but that the incident happened suddenly and involved so many areas that he could not make up his mind for a while. His suggestions only played a role in making Zhu Peide make up his mind.
After handling this difficult matter, the two discussed the current situation and military and civil affairs within their jurisdiction for a long time. An Yi now not only performs the duties of Zhu Peide's military adviser, but also has become Zhu Peide's administrative adviser.
, it can be seen that Zhu Peide appreciates and values An Yi's talent and character.
Before An Yi left, Zhu Peide was full of praise for An Yi's approach of flying all five new cargo ships with German flags. An Yi seemed to be proud of the spring breeze with a smile on his face, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. His own ship was sailing in his own river.
, it is necessary to hang a foreign flag to ensure safety. An Yi's self-esteem is extremely injured, but now his strength is still very weak. If he is not so opportunistic, his safety will not be guaranteed at all. No matter how cowardly he is, he has to grit his teeth and endure it.
After returning to Old Nanchang, An Yi, whose heart was shattered, immediately summoned his most trusted generals to launch a long-planned special operations plan.
In front of the map, Zhan Huanqi pointed to the vicinity of Yangxin County at the junction of Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei: "The team led by Captain Ding has successfully arrived at Longgong Mountain, 30 kilometers west of Yangxin County. The Qinglong Temple on the mountain is one of our points. Brother Gu led
a battalion of
The brothers are waiting there; the 72 brothers of the third team led by Major Sun Xiaowang have been performing tasks in Tongshan, Tongcheng and Xiushui areas. They have received the telegram and begun to shrink and assemble, waiting for Captain Ding and Brother Gu to lead the main force.
Head south to meet up.
After studying and deciding with the commanders, Brother Zong must lead the first detachment of the Special Forces Brigade to Fengding Mountain in the west of Yichun secretly within thirty-six hours. The headquarters will equip you with a radio station and two operators.
.Your task is to establish contact with the main forces of Brother Ding and Brother Gu as soon as possible,
We will then unify and coordinate specific matters such as operation time, area, mutual support, and rapid transfer. The four secret strongholds headquartered in western Ganxi will provide you with supplies such as weapons and ammunition, and will be responsible for the storage and transportation of all seized items transferred by you.
To ensure your mobility and combat effectiveness."
Zong Xingzhen nodded excitedly: "Okay, I can finally pull him out and have a big fight!"
The brothers smiled knowingly, and Zhan Huanqi reminded him seriously: "Brother Zong, although the brothers participating in the operation are very familiar with the terrain of the Hunan-Jiangxi border, they must not be careless. This operation is very difficult, and it is not the usual westward direction.
We have to clean up all the way back from east to west, but in order to draw everyone's attention to the direction of Hunan to avoid others' suspicion on us, we must go from east to west, one by one.
Go and remove them. Not to mention the resistance and pursuit you may encounter, the heavy property captured will become the biggest burden on your action. Although the headquarters has made careful arrangements for this at various points along the way, from the location where you looted to
The transfer points along the way range from ten kilometers to thirty kilometers, and in order to avoid the sight of various forces, you can only take mountain trails. You must be fully mentally prepared for this."
"clear!"
Zong Xingzhen thought calmly and then answered loudly.
After the task was assigned, An Yi asked Zong Xingzhen and others if they needed any help. After receiving a ready answer, he whispered:
"According to the latest intelligence sent by the third team, in the four places of Tonggu, Liuyang, Shangli and Liling, the three regiments of the Peasant Red Guards led by the Communist Party and the newly established Workers' and Peasants' Red Army are fighting with the local troops in Hunan and Hunan.
Landowners from various places on the Jiangxi border
In armed sporadic fighting, all your actions must avoid both warring parties. You must grasp the principle of retreating with one blow and making a quick decision. In case of sudden or abnormal circumstances, you must abandon the action against a certain target. You must not fight without a fight.
The battle of grasping, this must be kept in mind!
Xing Zhen, after you meet up with Lao Ding and Hu Tou, tell them what I said again.
Remember, all departments must keep in touch with each other at all times. They cannot fight independently, let alone conflict with the Red Guards and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Many of their regiment and battalion commanders are my senior brothers. Try to avoid them if you can, and don't meet them.
In addition, your detachment must carry a batch of universal camouflage combat uniforms that have just been produced, and all identification signs must be removed, do you understand?"
An Yi looked at Zong Xingzhen with piercing eyes: "This operation lasts for one month. During this month, it will be very difficult for you, but you must grit your teeth and persevere. The headquarters will do its best to support you in terms of logistics."
Zong Xingzhen stood up and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Master, not to mention one month, even three months, the brothers can withstand it. Most of the brothers are familiar with that area. After several months of intensive training, the combat effectiveness and
The survivability has been greatly improved. In addition, the battalion brought by Hutou is basically old brothers who have returned from the war with the master. Most of them are brothers who were born and raised in this area. Not only do we have the right time, but also the right location, and we will definitely be able to successfully complete the transfer of the headquarters.
The task given."
An Yi smiled happily. Hu Jialin, who was responsible for cooperating with the Lao Dao secret team in this operation, patted Zong Xingzhen's arm and personally sent him out. As he walked, he whispered the location and contact methods of several contact points.
Zhan Huanqi put away the map, and Yang Bin handed the teacup on the table to An Yi and joked in a low voice: "If this happens, the entire Hunan and Jiangxi region will probably become more chaotic. You have mastered the timing and strength of this move well."
, as long as we are not caught, no one will think that we did it."
An Yi shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I was forced too. Who knew that I spent more than 20 million in the past few months? Lao Zhou and Zhang Xi warned me every day, telling me that if
If they don't get back 10 to 20 million within a month to repair the holes, they will give up and give up. I'm worried..."
