Chapter 740: Great Victory in Northern Jiangsu
On June 6, 1938, Han Deqin, chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, launched a large-scale military offensive in northern Jiangsu!
Known as the "Double Six Operation" in history!
In this military operation, Han Deqin devoted all the strength of the northern Soviet Union to the central Soviet Union and launched a fierce attack on Yancheng, Funing, and Dongtai.
At the same time, the ** of the Northern Soviet Union, the guerrillas, the Fourth Route Army, and so on all participated in the war.
The guerrillas under the command of the military commander and the central commander also joined the attack on the Japanese army.
The common people in the occupied areas also sabotaged the Japanese army's supplies.
Roads were broken, bridges were blown up, and the southern section of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway was paralyzed.
"With the strength of my whole northern Jiangsu, I fought to the death with the Japanese army, and the fall of northern Jiangsu was a lifelong shame for the soldiers.
This is the general mobilization order issued by Han Deqin before the start of the "Double Six Operation"!
And in this large-scale military operation, the agents of the military command also began to play a huge role of their own.
In addition to providing information on the Japanese army from all over the country, they also mobilized the people in Yancheng, Funing and other cities to echo the siege troops.
This is called "the most proud action of the military commander in northern Jiangsu"!
One person, who promoted the great changes in northern Jiangsu:
Meng Shaoyuan!
"This person alone stirred up the entire northern Jiangsu and central ......"
In his future report to the chairman, he commented:
Almost single-handedly, he prompted Han Deqin to make up his mind to launch an attack on Yancheng and other cities...... With the help of this operation, the Fourth Route Army faced the Japanese Sato Wing alone, in an attempt to destroy the Fourth Route Army in one fell swoop. It's a pity that the intelligence on the front was wrong, and the Sato United was known as an elite, and the operation was extremely unbearable, which made Meng Shao's original plan fall through......
This person is extremely capable, loyal to the party-state and the leader, meticulous in his methods, and resolute in his actions. Although there are blameworthy things in private life, greedy for money and lustful, they are all substantial. It is not unreasonable for Japan to call him 'the public enemy of Japan and the strongest agent on the surface'. This time, from Ningbo to northern Jiangsu, all the way to the meritorious service, can be reused......"
This is a very high evaluation of Meng Shaoyuan.
And after the chairman forwarded the report to Dai Li, he wrote the following paragraph:
"You can consider continuing to promote the use of ......"
……
On June 9, 1937, with the cooperation of the agents of the military command, Han Deqin's department recovered Funing.
During the Funing Attack, the Japanese troops in various places who tried to reinforce Yancheng and other places were intercepted one after another, and it was difficult to move an inch.
As soon as Funing was lost, the Japanese army had gone, and it had to retreat back to its stronghold.
Han took advantage of the victory to pursue and surrounded Yancheng in two ways.
After two days of fierce fighting, the enemy was annihilated and Yancheng was recaptured on June 11.
On the 12th, the Korean Ministry made persistent efforts to recover Dongtai!
It is known as the "Great Victory of Northern Jiangsu"!
As soon as the news of the victory came out, the whole country was excited!
This is a hearty victory for China again since the victory in Taierzhuang!
The chairman of the committee sent a telegram to Han Deqin: "The army has loyally and bravely annihilated the enemy, and has performed great feats, and is deeply grateful, and Shang Xi has made persistent efforts to disturb the enemy's rear in order to benefit the overall situation." ”
Han Deqin did not stop, but took advantage of this victory to repeatedly attack the Japanese army.
Even later, the Han Department actually launched an offensive against Xuzhou!
Han Deqin personally commanded the 111th Division and the 89th Army of the 57th Army to counterattack Xuzhou, with the 661st Regiment of the 111th Division and the 2nd Regiment of the 89th Army attacking the Japanese army from the west and east of Xuzhou respectively, and the 666th Regiment of the 111th Division sent reinforcements near Nancaocun Station in Xuzhou.
During the battle, ** once invaded Xiguan in Xuzhou and occupied part of the city. Although Xuzhou was not captured in the end, it also restrained the Japanese army to a certain extent.
In order to commend Han Deqin's achievements in sabotaging the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and counterattacking Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek replied to Han Deqin again:
"The army is loyal and brave in the war of resistance, which is highly commendable, and I still hope to continue to work hard, bravely kill thieves, contain the enemy's rear, and make it beneficial to the Battle of Wuhan, and make great contributions."
During this period, under the leadership of Han Deqin, Northern Jiangsu actively fought against Japan, consolidating and expanding the anti-Japanese base area behind the enemy with Huaiyin as the center.
During its three-month operation, to a certain extent, it destroyed the Longhai-Jinpu communication line, restrained the actions of the Japanese army, cooperated with the military activities on the frontal battlefield, and also caused considerable losses to the Japanese army.
During this period, the Japanese suffered about 3,160 casualties. Among them, in the Battle of Tongru, the Japanese army suffered about 630 casualties in the Qing Dynasty; In the battles of Xuzhou and the southern section of Jinpu Road, the Matsumura Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army suffered about 500 casualties; In the Battle of Yangsunjiashan, the Japanese marines suffered about 300 casualties.
"Declaration" reported on this:
In the past three months, the guerrillas in various counties have made contact with the Japanese army more than 50 times, fought more than 10 positional battles, attacked the Japanese army in a large sweep five or six times, killed and wounded more than 1,000 Japanese people, destroyed the Jinlong road and highway more than 20 times, attacked and destroyed the Japanese train five times, and pulled out more than 70 miles of telephone poles......
……
Yancheng, June 12, 1938.
"Good news, good news from Dongtai, our army has recovered Dongtai!"
Han Deqin took the telegram with a smile and held it high:
"Dongtai has been recovered, and our army has won a complete victory!"
"Hooray! Long live the War of Resistance! Long live the victory! ”
A cheer resounded in the sky.
"Command!" Han Deqin said loudly: "All the departments are chasing after the poor and driving out all the Japanese!" ”
This was the most glorious moment of Han Deqin's life.
It is also a moment that is enough to remember history!
In this year, Han Deqin has reached the peak of his personal fame!
……
"Drink, drink, everyone open drink!"
Han Deqin's voice was very loud, constantly persuading him to drink.
Everyone looked very excited, and they all drank so much that their faces were red and their necks were thick.
Victorious, qualified to drink like this.
Just before that, it was the Japanese who sat here!
Han Deqin personally served a wine to Meng Shaoyuan, who was sitting at a table: "Commissioner Meng, you have made great contributions to this great victory, the Japanese intelligence is clear, and the agents also accompanied the army to fight, killing and wounding a large number of Japanese soldiers, I respect you!" ”
"Chairman Han, I'm no longer a commissioner now." Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile: "All the materials have been distributed, and those bullets have hit the Japanese, and I, the commissioner, can also step down." ”
"Ah, yes, yes." Han Deqin was also smiling: "Observer Meng, Brother Meng, come, drink." ”
Meng Shaoyuan drank it in one gulp and poured himself another glass of wine: "This cup of wine, respect to Chairman Han, to Commissioner Li, to Director Xue, to Director Waiting, and to all the brothers who fought loyally and bravely in this battle!" ”
"!"
In an instant, the emotions were mobilized and poured the most!
……
"It's a pity." Hou Yongsheng put down his wine glass and sighed: "The victory is certainly worth rejoicing, but there are also fly in the ointment. In the Fourth Route Army, no one died, how can this be reasonable? ”
"There are still wounded." Xue Sixu answered.
"That's when they fell and injured two." Hou Yongsheng was unwilling: "Instead, he gave them a large number of weapons and ammunition for nothing." ”
"There's no place to make sense of this." Li Mingyang also looked helpless: "Who would have thought that there are actually Japanese people who can't fight?" I heard that the Sato United, which had been in a stalemate with the Fourth Route Army for several days, not only did not attack, but also openly rebelled in the position, completely ignoring the war and not thinking about it. ”
Xue Sixu couldn't help but glance at Meng Shaoyuan.
This person is really a god, and he actually knows the information of a Japanese person so clearly.
"Forget it, forget it, this is also providence." Han Deqin won a big victory and was in a very good mood: "You have all done your best and considered everything, but you didn't count a group of Japanese soldiers who were in ruins. No one can think of it. This matter, let's talk about it slowly in the future, today is a celebration wine, don't talk about unhappy things. ”
After speaking, he said to Meng Shaoyuan: "Brother Meng, you are a talent, I want you to stay in northern Jiangsu and be my right and left hand, but you Director Dai will definitely not let you go." Brother Meng spent a few days in northern Jiangsu. This, although you have two beauties with you, but there are also more beauties in the land of northern Jiangsu, Brother Meng will definitely be able to find a suitable one. ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole table burst into laughter.
Meng Shaoyuan was embarrassed, how could his lustful reputation spread to northern Jiangsu?
"Brother Meng, don't pay attention to Chairman Han, he's teasing you." Li Mingyang also called "Brother Meng": "But it's true to play in northern Jiangsu for a few days, it's a good place in northern Jiangsu." ”
"I want to, too, but I can't." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I have been away from Shanghai for a long time this time, and I don't know the situation there, and my brother has a bunch of tasks, so I really don't dare to stay for a long time." I'm going back tomorrow? ”
"So urgent? We haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlords. Han Deqin frowned: "However, Brother Meng has a heavy responsibility, and Shanghai is indeed inseparable from you." In this way, we have recovered several places in Yancheng this time, and have seized a large number of materials, and your brother also has guerrillas in northern and southern Jiangsu, so we will send you a batch, which can be regarded as a thank you for it. ”
"Then you're welcome." Meng Shaoyuan did not refuse: "If you have time to go to Shanghai in the future, please be sure to inform me, Meng Shaoyuan will definitely be hospitable." ”
Xue Sixu said slowly: "This time the distribution of materials, although it was not completely done in accordance with Chief Li's requirements, but with the help of this batch of materials, I finally achieved a victory in northern Jiangsu, and I can explain it to Chief Li." Ladies and gentlemen, I will leave tomorrow, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I salute you with a cup, the mountains are high and the road is far away, there is always a time to meet. ”
Han Deqin was proud in his heart, and politely raised his glass: "Director Xue, if you have something to do in the future, please give me orders." ”
Xue Sixu drank a glass and poured it again: "I will toast this glass of wine to Observer Meng alone." I have seen with my own eyes the ability of Observer Meng, and I think that our friends can continue to make friends. ”
The meaning of his words could only be understood by himself and Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly in his heart: "Thank you, thank you." I'm a person who has long said that I like to make friends, but when it comes to making friends, I won't do things that lose my head, I can't help it, I'm greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
There was another burst of laughter, and no one took it seriously.
After Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, he sighed and drank this glass of wine!
