An Unforgettable Battle
In October 1928, the Japanese army retreated to the north bank of the Xinqiang River, and the Chinese army also chased to the south bank of the Xinqiang River. The Xinqiang River became a boundary river again. The north side of the river was the occupied area, and the south side of the river was the area ruled by the Chinese government.
The Japanese army moved their experience of ruling North China to the north of the Yellow River. They built solid fortifications on Mabu Mountain, built watchtowers by the river, and established maintenance associations in the occupied areas to govern the people.
The people on the south bank of the river also made new moves. After the first battle with the Japanese army, the Chinese people here had a clearer understanding of the Japanese army. The Japanese were just humans. They didn't have three heads and six arms.
One day, Sun Yun Qing came to Maple Ridge to look for Mei Yu.
The twenty-four-year-old Mei Yu was tall and strong, and the muscles on his feet accentuated his masculine beauty. When he saw Sun Yun Qing, he asked,"Brother Yun Qing, what good news do you have coming to our house today?”
Sun Yun Qing said,"Brother Mei Yu, guess what I'm looking for you for."”
Mei Yu said,"I'm not a worm in your stomach, how would I know!"”
"Do you want to fight the Japanese? Do you want to be a hero against the Japanese?"”
Mei Yu said,"Yes, I've been dreaming about this." Look at our house. Chicken Soup and Huai Ren have gone to the national army barracks to fight the Japanese. I think about this all day long. Look at the two of them. One was chicken soup. Everyone loved it and wanted to drink it. One was a bad person. What good could a bad person do? But they all became national soldiers and heroes. I, a man with such a high status, actually lived under them.”
Sun Yun Qing said," Yes, people leave their names behind when they pass by, and wild geese leave their voices behind when they pass by. Who asked our generation to encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime good thing like fighting the Japanese soldiers? If you don't become a hero, you'll regret it even if you die!”
Mei Yu said,"Brother Yun Qing, do you also want to be a hero? Let's go to the national army and find General Guan."”
Rong Fa said," Do you think I'm a ghost? It's not easy for me to raise you. I just want you to carry on my family line. What if you kill me in the army? Do you think I can raise another one?"”
Mei Yu said," Old man, you don't know, right? I have an indestructible body of steel. On the battlefield, only I can kill the Japanese soldiers. There won't be any Japanese soldiers killing me. Don't worry."”
Rong Fa said," You're an immortal who has descended to the mortal world. You also have an invulnerable body. I'm afraid you're even easier to pinch than a clay Bodhisattva. You're just like the scarecrow in the garden across the street."”
Sun Yun Qing said," Uncle Rong Fa, don't be anxious. I'm not here to ask Mei Yu to join the army. I'm not going to join the army either. We're forming a plainclothes team that specializes in beating up those Japanese soldiers who are left behind and those who are alone."”
Rong Fa said," That's more like it. This kind of business is called bullying the few with numbers. It's just immoral."”
Sun Yun Qing said," Uncle, you must be old and muddle-headed. What morality is there to talk about when fighting the Japanese soldiers? If you win, it's morality. If you win, don't say that you're bullying the few with numbers. You can use any means.”
Mei Yu said,"It's fine if you don't become a national army plainclothes team, as long as you can fight the Japanese soldiers."”
Sun Yun Qing said," Our county is going to set up a plainclothes brigade. We are going to set up a squadron in the Upper and Lower Lotus Pond. I will be the squadron leader of this squadron. If you can develop ten people, you will be the squad leader."”
Mei Yu was overjoyed. He said,"I'm already an official before I even have a chance.”
"Think about it," Sun Yunqing said,"who else in your house can participate?”
Mei Yu said," Nan Heng, who came down from the mountain, should be able to do it. This young man is just a little unreasonable. He's unreasonable when he comes across things. He's full of brute force. He's a stubborn person who f * cked the cow to death and even said that the cow had a plague.”
"Is that Huai Ren from the national army his brother?" asked Sun Yunqing.”
Mei Yu said,"Yes, Huai Ren is his brother, and Mei Di is also his brother. I heard that Mei Di was involved in farming."”
Sun Yun Qing said,"I think this person is good. Why should we talk about reason when fighting against the Japanese soldiers? We just want people who are tyrannical."”
Mei Yu said," It's fine to go down the mountain and have a kid called Chun Yan. He should be seventeen this year. He's not old, and his body is full of poisonous gas. He's a person who clenches his fists tightly when he encounters something.”
Sun Yunqing said,"This person is good, this person is good. As long as there is poison gas, he can achieve great things."”
Mei Yu said,"We have a man called Chun Yan at the top of the mountain. He looks a little like him, but also a little different." If he had to say that he was similar, he would be a little similar to someone who did not care about the Gu family. The Gu family could not fight the Japanese soldiers. He didn't look like one. He spent all his time gambling outside and didn't do his job properly. Such a person couldn't fight the Japanese soldiers.”
Sun Yun Qing said,"You can't have such a person. A single rat's droppings will spoil a pot of soup."”
Mei Yu said,"Who else? Who else can be our plainclothes team?" The Plum Cat should be able to do it. He's also a poisonous person. He carries a knife with him all day long. He says it's for self-defense. I think he just wants to kill people and make a big move to make a name for himself. Anyway, he's a pauper. What can others do to him?”
Sun Yun Qing said,"This kind of person is fine too. How old is he this year?"”
Mei Yu said,"He should be 21 or 22 years old. Anyway, he hasn't married yet. His family is poor and has no money."”
Sun Yun Qing said," And what about Chao Fan? How old is he this year?"”
Mei Yu slapped her thigh and said,"Good for Chao Fan. He's the most suitable person." He should be 30 years old this year, so he was still considered young. Although he had a family, it did not matter.”
Sun Yun Qing said," That's it. It's not bad for you to have five people in one house. You have to know that if you don't do it well, you might lose your head. You should go to places like Yan Village's Tiger Pit Slope to take a look."”
The next step was to hold a meeting. Mei Yu went to call these people to her house and let Sun Yun Qing make the opening remarks. Sun Yun Qing said,"The purpose of inviting everyone here today is to talk about fighting the Japanese soldiers." Our county is going to set up a plainclothes brigade. We have a squadron in the Upper and Lower Lotus Pond, and I will be the squadron leader. Today, I came to Mei Yu's house to discuss with him and selected you to join the plainclothes team. I don't know if you are willing. If you are not willing, we will not force you. If you are willing, we will warmly welcome you. Fighting the Japanese soldiers was everyone's business, not just the national army's business. Everyone had a responsibility.”
As soon as Sun Yun Qing finished speaking, the four people he called over all said that it was a good thing to join the plainclothes team. Why would they be unwilling? Chao Fan said," Do I get paid to join the plainclothes team? I'm different from them. I have a family. I have to support my family."”
Chun Yan said,"So what if you have a family? It doesn't mean that we can't get a wife."”
Chao Fan said," Aren't you carrying Wang Danmu? Didn't I say you can't get a wife?"”
Sun Yun Qing said," Alright, alright, stop arguing. What Chao Fan said is also a big deal. If everyone joins the plainclothes team, it will delay production. It makes sense for the plainclothes team to give some money." The problem is that the country won't give us money. We have to rely on ourselves to get money.”
Plum Cat said," How can we make money by ourselves? We can steal and rob. This won't do!"”
Mei Yu said,"Who told you to steal and rob? Brother Yun Qing only said that we have to think of a way."”
Sun Yun Qing said," We can mobilize the rich families in the Upper and Lower Lotus Pond to donate a little. If each person saves a mouthful, it will be like a dog dying from bloating. As long as the rich families are willing to pay, we will not starve to death.”
Nan Heng said,"We don't just have one dog. We have at least a hundred."”
Sun Yunqing said," Resisting the Japanese is everyone's business. Money is used to pay, guns are used, and people are used. This is the responsibility that everyone has to bear. Whoever shirks this responsibility is no different from a traitor."”
Everyone spoke again. Sun Yun Qing said,"Mei Yu is the squad leader. You will all be in his squad. From now on, all your actions will be under Mei Yu's command. In two days, we will go to Sand Creek Street for training and practice our spear skills and assassination skills.”
The news quickly spread. Five people were participating in the military operation in one house. This was a groundbreaking event in Maple Ridge. People were discussing this matter. Some were applauding, while others were worried.
That night, the Liren brothers sat together and discussed this matter.
"This is not necessarily a good thing. Look at these people."”
Mister Rain said," Yes, they are an organization now. An organization is always very powerful. If he does a good deed, the effect will be seen immediately. If he did something bad, it would be very destructive. The ancients opposed forming cliques for personal gain, and those who formed cliques would definitely engage in personal gain.”
" We can only wait and see," Li Ren said." They haven't taken any action yet. All the discussions are just guesses."”
Sun Yun Qing's plainclothes squadron began their training at Jiu Ru Hall on Shaxi Street. The youths of the same color were between the ages of seventeen to thirty, and each of them was full of vigor. They learned the culture here and understood the meaning of setting up a plainclothes team. They were also practicing shooting, assassination, and grappling.
The Japanese did not cross the river, and the Chinese army did not cross the river either. The Xinqiang River seemed to have become the border between China and Japan. This peaceful life lasted for two years. In these two years, how many things had happened in China and in the world was really too much to count. However, time seemed to have frozen on both sides of the Newwall River. Nothing happened.
Sun Yunqing's plainclothes team did not have any achievements in the past two years. The national army did not infiltrate the other side of the river to harass the Japanese army. The plainclothes team could not act rashly. They only dressed up as farmers from time to time and went to the other side of the river to investigate and see if the Japanese army had any new movements.
In the mid-autumn of the 1930s, this peaceful situation was broken by the Japanese army. After two years of preparation, the Japanese army began to attack again. This time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army was also changed.
The Japanese army decided to attack on September 18 and defeat the national army between the Xinqiang River and the Miluo River; Then, they prepared to enter the lower reaches of the Mi River from the vicinity of Changle Street to attack the 4th and 99th armies on the left bank of the river.
The attack on the left bank of the Mishui River was scheduled to begin on September 23rd, and the goal would be achieved by the end of September.
The 4th Army of the National Army was stationed on the south bank of the Xinqiang River and occupied the forward position of Qiaokou and Dayun Mountain north of the Xinqiang River. Leishi Mountain, Antler Mountain, and the vast area of Zhigong Field were their defensive positions.
In early September, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army assembled to cover the main force, lifted the threat from the rear of the river crossing area, and carried out a mopping-up operation on the north bank of the 4th Army's Xinqiang River. The battle location was mainly at Dayun Mountain. The battle lasted for about ten days. On September 18th, the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack at the Xinqiang River. With the support of artillery, aviation, and tanks, they forced their way across the Xinqiang River.
The divisions of the 4th National Army fought against the Japanese army with their existing positions. The 102nd Division confronted the concentrated attacks of the 3rd, 4th and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army, and the battle was particularly fierce. A few hours later, the Japanese army successfully crossed the river and broke through the first line of the garrison. The 4th Army moved to the second line of defense in the east and west of Changhu and continued to resist. The 3rd and 4th divisions of the Japanese army and the Yueyuan detachment quickly advanced south along the areas on both sides of the Yue-Han railway, and the 3rd division took a detour to the rear of the 4th army. The Japanese army's Hirano detachment also took a naval vessel along the east side of Dongting Lake to land near Qingshan at the mouth of Xiangjiang River. Together with the main force, they launched an attack on the 99th Army of the National Army. At 16:00, the second line of the 4th Army was broken through by the Japanese army. The commander of the 4th Army, Ou Zhen, in view of the fact that the Japanese army had an advantage in strength, fierce attacks, and air support, the frontal resistance was no longer effective, so he ordered the divisions to cover one by one, move to the mountains east of Guanwangqiao, occupy favorable positions, and then maneuver or attack the Japanese army.
The battlefield quickly moved north. The Chinese and Japanese armies fought fiercely in the vast area between the north of Mishui River and Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. They suffered heavy casualties. A month later, the Japanese army retreated to the north bank of Xinqiang River, and the Chinese army returned to the south bank of Xinqiang River. Xinqiang River became the boundary river between them again.
The war was like a gust of wind that swept over the heads of the people in the upper and lower lotus ponds. People watched as the national army and the Japanese army swept past like the wind. In the blink of an eye, the national army disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, the Japanese army disappeared again. On the crisscrossing roads and small roads, the footsteps of soldiers were moving rapidly everywhere, and the sound of guns and cannons could be heard everywhere. After a few days, the war hurricane came again. This time, the Japanese army was in the front and the Chinese army was behind.
The battle not only dazzled the villagers in the Upper and Lower Lotus Pond, but also Sun Yunqing's plainclothes team. Sun Yunqing and the others were hiding in the woods and bushes, watching the Japanese troops galloping south. They just wanted to catch a few of the Japanese soldiers who had fallen behind and beat them up. Who knew that the Japanese soldiers were very disciplined. When they marched, they followed closely, and there were no people who fell behind.
They were really depressed. The Japanese army crossed Shaxi Street and went south. Sun Yunqing's plainclothes team also followed them south and chased them all the way to the Miluo River. They still didn't catch a single Japanese soldier who fell behind.
When would the pie fall into the mouth of the plainclothes team? One afternoon after being shrouded in sorrow for more than 20 days, someone reported to Jinsha township head Zhou Yin that there was a Japanese team of about ten Japanese soldiers bathing in the Xiushui River. The specific location was under the Xiushui Iron Bridge.
At this time, Zhou Yin was leading Mei Yu's plainclothes squad back to the township office. After receiving the report, Zhou Yin and Mei Yu discussed a few words before leading the plainclothes squad to Xiushui Iron Bridge.
Although it was mid-autumn, the noon sun still made people listless. The mountain team was the last Japanese army to retreat to the north. They felt too hot. When they were in Japan, they had never been exposed to such a poisonous sun. When they walked from Shaxi Street to Xiushui River and saw the clear water, they jumped up and down happily. The captain gave the order, and everyone threw their guns away and jumped into the river.
When the Xiushui River reached the railway bridge, it formed a pool. Autumn was not the season for floods. The water in the Xiushui River was constant, so it was very clear. This time, the water in the pool was like a mirror that reflected the figure of the person. The Japanese soldier had not bathed for more than ten days, and his body was itchy like insects biting meat. How could they not jump when they saw the water?
It was not that the arrogant Japanese army was not vigilant, but they felt that there was no resistance in this area. The national army had told them to rush to the south. Even if they were fast, they should be on the south bank of the Mi River.
Shanye soaked his head in the river water and rubbed his hair with both hands. His head was extremely itchy. He scratched for a while before stopping. Then, he held the river water to rub his face, then took off his clothes. He rubbed his sweaty military uniform in the river water again and again, and then untied the Japanese shorts that were tied around his crotch. It was extremely comfortable as if his crotch had been untied. Shan Ye was doing this, and the other Japanese soldiers were doing the same. Now, these 10 Japanese soldiers were playing in the river naked, and they were very satisfied. They forgot that they were Japanese soldiers, forgot that their guns were thrown on the shore, and forgot that the Chinese people held hatred in their hearts.
Zhou Yin and Mei Yu brought the plainclothes team and quickly approached Huishuitan. They had already seen the Japanese soldiers bathing. Then, everyone quickly ran over and jumped down the field. They picked up the Japanese army's 38 big cover on the river bank and pulled the bolt.
Shan Ye was the first to discover this group of Chinese people. When Mei Yu jumped down, Shan Ye looked up and saw him. Then, he started shouting and running towards the shore. Mei Yu picked up a spear and stabbed at him with the spear. Shan Ye tilted his body, and Mei Yu missed. He even staggered forward. Shan Ye was a veteran of the battlefield, but this was Mei Yu's first time facing a Japanese soldier. The two of them were not on equal footing, but compared to Shan Ye, Mei Yu had an advantage. His advantage was that he was wearing clothes and holding a weapon.
Shan Ye turned around and hugged Mei Yu from behind, throwing her into the air. How could he just throw Mei Yu? Every time he picked Mei Yu up and threw her onto the ground, Mei Yu would always land on both feet and the butt of her gun at the same time. There were a few times when the butt of her gun hit Shan Ye's feet, causing Shan Ye to sweat from the pain. After falling a few times, Shan Ye was tired, and his strength was also exhausted. Mei Yu stretched out a hand from his crotch and grabbed the two eggs in Shan Ye's crotch. Shan Ye cried out in pain, and he finally let go. He rolled on the ground, and Mei Yu stabbed Shan Ye's heart with the spear.
When the plainclothes team jumped down and saw the Japanese army's 38th big cover, they put their short guns on their waists and picked up the guns on the ground. The bayonet on the gun was open, and they stabbed the screaming Japanese soldiers. These Japanese soldiers were all very impressive. They knew that they were at a disadvantage, but they didn't give in. They rushed towards the plainclothes soldiers barehanded and naked. Ten plainclothes soldiers and ten Japanese soldiers fought one-on-one. In the end, all the Japanese soldiers were killed on the river bank. There was not a single shot in the entire battle. It was all settled by bayonet. No one heard the gunshots when they walked past the lotus pond, so no one came back to save their compatriots.
Zhou Yin commanded his men to find a small boat. The plainclothes team loaded the Japanese corpses onto the boat. Two members rowed the boat away. Their mission was to throw the Japanese corpses into Dongting Lake to feed the fish. If the Japanese army found their corpses in Xiushui River in the future, they would retaliate against the nearby residents. The remaining team members turned over the sand on the river bank, and the blood stains disappeared. Those who did not know the inside story walked here, and no one could tell that there had been a battle here.
Sun Yun Qing's plainclothes team finally made their move. Moreover, it was a huge victory. They had not suffered any casualties. This made his plainclothes team members 'faces glow. After lying low for two years, they had finally made a brilliant move.
Zhou Yin and Sun Yun Qing held a celebration party for Mei Yu's team at the township office. Zhou Yin said,""We are fighting like sparrows. If we were to fight with real weapons, would we win?”
Sun Yunqing said," Yes, this is something we should be clear about. When the Japanese army and us fight one-on-one with weapons, who will lose and who will win?”
Nan Heng said,"You can't boost the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. I'm not afraid of him even if it's a one-on-one fight."”
The Plum Cat said," Yes, yes, yes. Why should we be afraid of him? I'll kill him with my harpoon."”
"Your harpoon can't run as fast as a bullet.”
Mei Yu said," This time, we've finally seen the real Japanese soldiers. They're very brave and not afraid of death. They're also well-trained. We still have to train hard. If we don't have real skills, we won't be able to defeat them."”
Sun Yunqing said,"Mei Yu's words are very true.”
The Japanese army's 6th division lost a small group of soldiers. They didn't know where they lost this unit. No one knew if they were lost or plotted against.
Only two months later, the Japanese army launched a new round of attacks.
The Japanese army had suffered a terrible defeat in the Battle of Changsha this time. They had 70,000 troops participating in the battle, while General Xue Yue's national army had 300,000 troops. The Japanese chieftain, Anami Keiki, had used 70,000 troops to attack 300,000 troops. He had either lost his mind or his head had been squeezed by the door. He had not achieved any combat objectives. Changsha had not been captured, and the main force of the national army's 9th Battle Area had not been destroyed. The assistance to Hong Kong was also extremely limited. In the history of war, he had only left a laughing stock.
As soon as the Japanese army entered Shanghetang, they were met with tenacious resistance. In Yingpanling, the national army temporarily arranged 54 divisions to guard here. A squadron of the Japanese army launched an attack on Yingpanling. The national army relied on the well-dug fortifications to repel the Japanese army's attacks again and again. The Japanese army left dozens of bodies on the position and had to bypass it to continue south.
In the Cat's Face Mountain, the 20th Army of the Chinese army was guarding here. A squadron of the Japanese army attacked it in an attempt to remove this stronghold. The Chinese army used the mountains, trenches, and trees as cover to fight with the attacking Japanese army for a day. The Japanese army did not gain any benefits and only left dozens of bodies.
At Nanshan Temple, the soldiers of the 306th Regiment of the 32nd Army of the National Army were guarding here. A large group of Japanese soldiers surrounded Nanshan Temple. Heavy artillery bombarded the buildings of Nanshan Temple. Machine guns were fired, and the soldiers shouted and rushed inside. The national army guards stayed close. Some were blown up by shells, some were shot through the chest by machine guns, and the soldiers who were not dead shot at the Japanese soldiers who swarmed over like crazy bees, causing them to fall in rows in front of the position. The Japanese army's attack never succeeded. After fighting for a whole day, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
My name is Fu Zheng. A squadron of Japanese soldiers was lying in ambush on both sides of the road. A squadron of Japanese soldiers passed by here and headed towards the Miluo River. The national army threw grenades and fired machine guns. The ambush almost wiped out a squadron of Japanese soldiers. Only a few Japanese soldiers escaped the encirclement.
The news of the battle in the Upper and Lower Lotus Pond flew across the territory as if it had wings. It flew into the ears of the villagers and became the topic of conversation at the dining table.
When the Maple Ridge people talked about these things, they were mostly under the trees in the forbidden garden.
Fei Zhang said,"Which one of you has been to Yingpan Ridge? No one has been there, right? I've been there." Why is that mountain called Yingpan Ridge? It's a natural place for soldiers to be stationed. There are well-dug fortifications everywhere, and they're ancient fortifications.”
Yue Xing said," The name Cat Washing Face Mountain is so interesting. I wonder whose cat washed its face on this mountain and left such an interesting name." It was said that the national army guarding the mountain painted their faces as cats so that Cat God would bless their lives during the war.”
Mei Mao said," You're talking nonsense, right? If we need the protection of immortals during a war, then our soldiers should all be painted with cat faces. We didn't lose many people this time because of the terrain."”
"I mean, it won't work anywhere else if you draw a cat face on the Cat Washing Mountain," said Yue Xing.”
Jiashan said," These Japanese soldiers are as hard as men. I, Fu Zheng, was surrounded and refused to surrender no matter what. Those who couldn't escape would rather be beaten to death. It would be a pity if they were beaten to death. I'm afraid these soldiers have never tasted a woman."”
Someone laughed at Jiashan and said,"You have two women. Why don't you contribute one to the Japanese soldiers?"”
"I'm already fifty years old this year. What kind of joke is this?!" Jiashan said.”
Xigui said," What Jiashan said is actually right. Not only the Japanese soldiers, but also our national soldiers. At least more than half of them have never experienced a woman. If they say they are dead, then so be it. They are all humans. Why should they die?" Jiashan has two wives, so do I. Is this world reasonable?”
The demoness said,"You think you're so great just because you have two wives? Do you know how many men I have? If not 10,000, at least a few thousand. I just don't know the smell of the Japanese soldiers. When they pass by our house, they don't stop. It's a pity.”
Xigui said,"How about we send you to the north bank of the Xinqiang River? There are Japanese soldiers there."”
The demoness said,"Alright, alright. If you don't give it to me, you'll be the cub in my house."”
Everyone under the tree laughed. Xigui was twenty-two years older than the beauty Sala and was the beauty Sala's father. Yet, he was scolded by the beauty Sala, and Xigui couldn't even scold him back.
Ziren said," I heard that the battle at Nanshan Temple was the most tragic. All the houses were blown up and the Bodhisattvas in the temple were charred. There were limbs and skulls everywhere. Every brick was covered in skin and flesh. The ground was dyed black by human blood. It was extremely tragic! Terrible!"
Wan Ren said,"It would be great if the Japanese soldiers didn't come. We would be safe!"”
Just as the Japanese army issued the order to advance south, Sun Yunqing's squadron also received an order from the Dongxiang County government to prepare explosives to blow up the Yanjiatang Bridge and Mijiazhuang Bridge in the upper Hetang territory. Sun Yunqing divided the tasks. The Meiyu team went to bomb the Yanjiatang Bridge, the Kaiji team went to bomb the Mijiazhuang Bridge, and the Dian Pan team cooperated with the Meiyu team to ambush on the south bank of Yanjiatang to block the passing Japanese army.
The Yanjiatang Bridge was a double-arched stone bridge. There was a pier in the middle of the river. The Mei Yu Squad had brought a few bags of explosives with them. They only needed to blow up the pier in the middle of the river. As long as the pier in the river collapsed, the stone strips on the bridge would fall into the river. Even the gods could not save them.
Mei Yu did not blow up the bridge immediately after he had set up the explosives. He was waiting for an opportunity to pull the explosives when the Japanese fleet got on the bridge. In this way, he would have military merit.
The mechanized troops of the Japanese army drove over. In front of them were three three-man motorcycles, each carrying a machine gun. Behind them was the Japanese army's supply convoy. Some of the vehicles carried weapons, ammunition, and food, while others carried soldiers. The supply convoy slowed down when they reached the bridge. The first vehicle was for people, and the second was for goods. After the first car got on the bridge, Mei Yu asked Mei Yu if she wanted to bomb it. Mei Yu said,""Wait a little longer." The second car also came up. Mei Yu said," Explode quickly." Mei Mao pulled the explosive bag. With a loud bang, the pier collapsed and the stone strips on the bridge fell into the river. The two cars on the bridge also fell into the river.
After the explosives went off, the plainclothes team lying in ambush in the ditch opened fire on the Japanese soldiers on the motorcycles. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 plainclothes team members destroyed the Japanese soldiers on the motorcycles and seized three machine guns and three motorcycles.
The Japanese soldiers who fell into the river did not die. They found a way to climb out. The Japanese soldiers were indeed well-trained. They did not panic when they encountered such an accident. The Japanese soldiers who were still stuck on the road on the other side of the bridge immediately jumped down and came to the river to shoot at the plainclothes team. Mei Yu saw that things weren't looking good. Her troops were no match for the Japanese army. With a whistle, they withdrew.
The Keiki team also blew up the Mijia Village Bridge. Their results were not as brilliant as the Meiyu team, but they achieved their goal. The Japanese also destroyed two tanks.
When the Japanese army retreated, a squadron occupied Sanzi Mountain. Their mission was to cover the Japanese army's troops passing through the main road at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the 133rd Division of the National Army from Pingjiang Cave and the 268th Regiment of the National Army from Pengjialing saw this situation and joined forces to surround the Japanese squadron guarding the mountain.
They had only used a portion of their forces to surround the mountain, and a large portion of their forces were lying in ambush on both sides of the road. They were prepared to block the Japanese army that had withdrawn from the Miluo River. They were not sure if they would succeed, because they did not know how many Japanese troops would pass through here.
The national army surrounding the mountain could only attack fiercely. If they did not eliminate the Japanese army in a short period of time, when the Japanese army came, the national army would be wrapped in dumplings. This was something that they knew very well.
The Japanese soldiers guarding the mountain were not to be trifled with. They resisted stubbornly and repelled the national army's charge time and time again. The sound of machine guns echoed in the sky above the upper lotus pond. After fighting for a long time, the Japanese soldiers died more than 100 people. The mountain was still not taken down. The national army withdrew, and they were afraid of falling into a situation of being attacked from both sides.
One day, Sun Yunqing received a report that a small group of Japanese soldiers had plundered the Cangping River and then rushed to the Zou family's house. Sun Yunqing knew that the Japanese army had a team of forty to fifty people, but his squadron only had thirty people. There was a great disparity in strength. Despite this, Sun Yunqing did not even think about it and set off with the plainclothes squadron. He wanted to ambush the Japanese army at the Dalong Bridge before the Japanese army and use the terrain here to ambush the Japanese army crossing the bridge.
The Dalong Bridge spanned across the Cangping River. The river surface here was very wide, and the bridge was not completely destroyed. It was not a big problem for people to pass through. The plainclothes team was lying in ambush under the river embankment in the north. When they saw the Japanese army stepping on the stone bridge, the machine guns of the plainclothes team fired. The scattered plainclothes members also fired, and bullets flew across the river. The Japanese captain Hashimoto saw that it was not a regular army, so he pulled out his sword and shouted. The Japanese artillery fired, and the machine gun also fired. The plainclothes team took down several Japanese soldiers on the bridge and withdrew.
Captain Hashimoto was very angry. Five of his soldiers had died for no reason, but the Chinese guerrillas were like ghosts. They came and went as they pleased. If you wanted to hit them, you couldn't hit them. He ordered the soldiers to carry the bodies of their compatriots and continue north. The remaining soldiers picked up the stolen chickens, ducks and geese on their spears. He thought that this was really not worth it!
