When Colonel Takahashi led the military police brigade to Kunshan Railway Station, it was already dark.
Although the military police had mechanized transportation vehicles such as armored cars, large trucks, and three-wheeled motorcycles, the winter rain for more than ten hours had made the roads muddy, seriously slowing down the marching speed of the Japanese army. Colonel Nakagawa's 36th
The regiment was further away from Kunshan, but it arrived almost at the same time as the gendarmerie.
After all, the 36th Regiment is the most elite field regiment, not comparable to the Military Police.
However, the first to arrive at Kunshan Railway Station was the special operations brigade led by Colonel Watanabe.
However, by the time Colonel Watanabe led the special forces to arrive at the Kunshan Railway Station with a forced march, the Chinese troops had already fled on the train, leaving behind only the Japanese garrison and the corpses of the seriously wounded on the ground. In order to prevent the Japanese armor from
The trains pursued each other one after another, and the Chinese army even blew up two railway bridges in Xixiao, Kunshan.
Although Colonel Watanabe's special operations brigade is well-equipped and well-trained, it is impossible for him to fly into the sky!
Therefore, in addition to urgently notifying the garrison troops at Susu, Wuxi, Changzhou and other stations ahead to be vigilant and preparing to intercept the China Army, Colonel Watanabe was already beyond his reach. The railway bridge was bombed and armored trains were mobilized to pursue him.
Are you asking his special operations team to chase a high-speed train on foot? What an international joke!
Soon, Colonel Takahashi and Colonel Nakagawa, with solemn faces, came to Colonel Watanabe together.
Colonel Watanabe's facial muscles twitched violently twice, and he said in a ferocious voice: "Our special operations team arrived a step late, and the China Fox has already escaped on the train."
"These damn China foxes!" Takahashi Ohashi was so angry that his teeth almost broke.
Osaka Nakagawa said anxiously: "Then we must quickly notify the Suzhou Railway Station ahead to intercept."
"It's late." Osaka Watanabe said, "The train passed Gusu Station five minutes ago."
"Baga." Colonel Takahashi said angrily, "What do the guards at Gusu Railway Station do for food?"
"The garrison didn't know about it at all." Colonel Watanabe shook his head and said, "The train workers at the station were retained Chinese people. They thought it was the imperial army transporting heavy trains to the front line, so they didn't dare to stop them. However, I have already called
Notify the Wuxi and Changzhou garrison ahead by phone and ask them to intercept this train."
Colonel Nakagawa said with regret: "If it hadn't been for this damn foggy and rainy weather, we could have requested tactical support from the air force. In that case, only one aerial bomb would have been able to stop the train, and the highway would not be what it is now.
It's difficult to walk through the mud, so how easy is it for the Chinese to escape?"
"Let's not talk about this now." Colonel Watanabe said coldly, "I order you to pursue along the railway line immediately!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
Colonel Takahashi and Colonel Nakagawa simultaneously put their feet back and stood at attention, lowering their heads suddenly.
…………
At the same time, on the railway line from Suzhou to Wuxi, the train Baoshanying was riding was roaring forward.
Seeing the train running smoothly on the railway line and the scenery outside the window retreating rapidly to both sides, Yue Weihan couldn't help but let out a long yawn, turned back to Hua Hanlin and said: "Hanlin, I leave this place to you.
"
"Ah? No, no, no, no," Hua Hanlin said anxiously, "Yingzuo, I don't know how to drive this thing."
"Who told you to drive?" Yue Weihan said angrily, "Just keep an eye here. If anything happens ahead, blow the whistle and let me know. Sound the whistle, do you understand?"
"I know this, why don't you just press the button?" Hua Hanlin said.
"It's good to know." Yue Weihan said and immediately left the cab and entered the No. 1 compartment next to the front of the car.
Although this train is mainly a fully enclosed freight car, there are still two passenger carriages in front. Now all the carriages are filled with soldiers. Carriage No. 1 is used by Yue Weihan as a temporary command post, and Carriage No. 2 is used as a temporary command post.
The entire "field hospital" that Hua Hanlin moved here with his guard platoon.
Unfortunately, Hua Hanlin still could not move the entire field hospital onto the truck, because there were many large-scale equipment that could not be moved manually. For the sake of future marches, Yue Weihan had no choice but to reluctantly give up. Fortunately, he only had to move these
With the equipment, a simple field hospital can also be built.
As soon as Yue Weihan came in, he immediately ordered Liu Xinjia to set up a radio station.
As soon as the radio was turned on, a radio signal was transmitted in. After Liu Xin translated the message, he stood up and said: "Barracks, Nanjing Garrison Headquarters has an urgent call."
Yue Weihan did not answer the telegram, but thought about it and said: "Read it."
Liu Xin said: "Baoshan Camp: report your location, personnel and equipment."
"Hmm." Yue Weihan nodded, and then dictated, "Nanjing Garrison Theater Headquarters: The staff is leading the troops to take a train to attack Wuxi."
"In addition, in the early hours of this morning, the Ministry of Staff led troops to attack the Japanese concentration camp and Kunshan Railway Station, killing more than a thousand Japanese garrison members and seriously injured people, and seized 16 light and heavy machine guns, two 81mm caliber mortars, and a Type 38 rifle.
More than 300 troops were rescued, and one unit each of the 36th Division, the 87th Division, the 145th Division and the Tax Police Regiment, totaling about a thousand people, have been temporarily incorporated into the battle order of the Baoshan Battalion, and the headquarters has been requested to issue subsequent combat orders.
.”
"Staff Department, Yue Weihan, 8:00 on December 11, 26th year of the Republic of China."
…………
Nanjing, garrison headquarters.
Tang Shenzhi has already visited the telecommunications office in person and is standing next to the radio station that communicates with Baoshan Camp.
General Tang had already heard about Yue Weihan and Baoshan Camp. With the vigorous publicity of the Chinese and foreign media, the war of resistance against Sihang Warehouse had long been known to everyone. Even overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia knew about Baoshan Camp and Yue Camp.
Such a great name, let alone Tang Shenzhi, a dignified first-level general of the party-state?
To be honest, Tang Shenzhi had strong objections to Gu Zhutong's placing Baoshan Camp under the Nanjing Garrison War Zone sequence.
Baoshan Camp has a good reputation and is registered with the old man. Such a special force is simply a hot potato. Let’s send it to the battlefield. If the old man is not happy if we can’t defeat it, don’t send it to the battlefield. Others
What would the troops think? The most troublesome thing is that these remnants are still deep behind enemy lines and may be surrounded and eaten by the Japanese army at any time.
At this time, Gu Zhutong assigned Baoshan Camp to the Nanjing Garrison War Zone. Wasn't this his intention to make Tang Shenzhi bear the reputation of "losing troops and troops" and "ineffective rescue"? However, there are opinions, but Tang Shenzhi didn't do much.
He didn't care. Anyway, he volunteered to stay in Nanjing this time, so he had no intention of leaving alive.
Even if his life is at stake, what else does Tang Shenzhi have to worry about?
"What, are you attacking in the direction of Wuxi? This Yue Weihan!"
The confidential officer had just translated the first paragraph of the message, and General Tang's eyebrows instantly twisted into the character "Sichuan". Although the main divisions of the Japanese army have gathered in Nanjing and along Wuhu, Wuxi is an important town in southern Jiangsu after all, and the Japanese army will definitely
A considerable amount of troops are left to garrison. Isn't Baoshan Camp going to be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth?
"Isn't this daring?"
Gui Yongqing, commander of the Central Military Academy’s Teaching Corps, also answered.
A staff officer suggested: "Commander, Wuxi is too far away from Nanjing. Even if we want to save it, we can't save it at all. We should order him to lead his troops to move to Zhejiang."
"You think I don't want to?" Tang Shenzhi said angrily, "Chief Gu had already advised him to turn towards Jiashan and Pinghu, but what do you think this guy's answer was?"
The staff officer was very cooperative and said: "How did he answer?"
"I have to admit, this guy Yue Weihan does have some talent." Tang Shenzhi said with some emotion, "This guy said in his reply to Commander Gu at that time: The fierce battle in Nanjing is still going on, and as a soldier of the party and the country, he has no reason to escape from the battle.
The troops have decided to march westward and cooperate with the Tang chief to defend Nanjing. Although there are only a hundred remaining soldiers, they will not be of any help to the overall situation. All we ask for is to comfort all the officers and soldiers of Baoshan Battalion in their belief that they will sacrifice themselves to be benevolent!"
Tang Shenzhi actually recited the telegram sent by Yue Weihan to Gu Zhutong verbatim.
The telecommunications office suddenly became extremely quiet. Only the sound of the radio station was still ticking. All the national army generals present, including Tang Shenzhi and Gui Yongqing, were a little agitated. The young people in the telecommunications office
The beautiful female confidential officers even had their beautiful eyes flushed red and were about to cry.
Soon, the confidential officer translated the second message from Baoshan Camp.
"The Baoshan camp actually attacked the Kunshan concentration camp and the train station?" Tang Shenzhi said with excitement after listening to the confidential officer's report, "More than a thousand prisoners of war were rescued from there? More than 300 38-guns were seized.
Not to mention a dozen light and heavy machine guns, but also two mortars? This guy really doesn’t want to suffer any loss."
"This is a bit interesting." A staff officer said with an excited expression, "Commander, Baoshan Battalion needs people and guys right now. In addition, Yue Weihan is really good material for fighting. If the little devil wants to
I'm afraid it won't be that easy to eat him. I think we can even let Baoshan Battalion defeat him behind enemy lines."
"No, we still can't take it lightly. Yue Weihan and Baoshan Camp are registered with the old man. If they are really eaten by the little devil, you and I will be involved." Tang Shenzhi said this and said, "
Captain Gui, this Baoshan Battalion is now affiliated with your teaching corps’ battle order, what do you think we should do?”
Gui Yongqing said: "I think we should simply withdraw them to the north of the Yangtze River to defend Jingjiang, so as not to stay in the capital and get in the way."
"Captain Gui's words are exactly what I want." Tang Shenzhi nodded happily and said to the confidential personnel, "Immediately send a report to Baoshan Camp and ask them to rush to Jingjiang, a military town in the north of the Yangtze River, and arrive within five days. This is a violation of military law.
