587, shallow water heavy gunboat
Xiong Blind Island is also known as Fuyuan Delta, Black Blind Island, and Tarabarov Island in Russian; Manchu name: Morin Wuzhu Island, meaning "horse head" in Chinese. With an area of about 350 square kilometres, it is only a little smaller than Singapore, one-third the size of Hong Kong, 12 times the size of Macau, and 500 times the size of Jumbo Island.
The Northeast dialect calls the black bear the black blind man, so we call it the black blind island. Black Blind Island is composed of 93 islands and sandbars in the three island systems of Yinlong Island, Black Blind Island and Mingyue Island, with a length of 58.8 kilometers and a maximum width of 14 kilometers. The average elevation of the whole island is about 40 meters, and the terrain is flat, with large areas of wetland.
Willows, elms, poplars, oaks and pastures are mainly grown on the island. The main fish are carp, crucian carp, silver carp, white fish, aohua and other dozens of species, which are the only way for salmon to migrate, and are basically in an undeveloped state.
At 1 p.m. on September 6, 1929, Soviet Russian bandits launched an all-out attack on Wusu Town, and the officers and soldiers of the 7th and 8th companies of the 2nd Battalion of the 42nd Regiment of the Ninth Brigade of the Northeast Chinese Army rose up to resist under the command of the battalion adjutant Guo Zhankui.
The battle lasted until the evening, and finally due to being outnumbered, Wusu Town was lost, more than 100 Chinese defenders were killed, and Wusu Town was turned into a ruin in the Soviet artillery fire. Shortly thereafter, the town of Tongjiang was lost, and the Russian bandits landed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, went west along the Suifen River, and even bombed the Mudanjiang River. After that, he took the Black Blind Island as his own.
Since the beginning of the Russian jurisdiction after the Middle East Road Incident in 1929, the Black Blind Island has been under military control, with five border posts on Yinlong Island, Beidai Island and the Orthodox Church, and about 40 kilometers of barbed wire along the Chinese side of the island.
Moreover, the entrance to the upper reaches of the Fuyuan Waterway is guarded by the "Red Oriental" shallow water heavy gunboats, and the downstream exit is guarded by the "proletarian" shallow gunboats. The face of the robber born from the bones is finally completely exposed!
The territory of China is known as the "rooster". As a result, from the day of the occupation of the Russian robbers, the rooster's mouth was cut off by foreign robbers and turned into a rooster without a mouth!
By ###ๅนด, the shameless robber has only returned half of it, and half of the big cock's mouth has not returned. What's more, Vladivostok is still a historical term, and the official media even claimed that "it ended the final settlement of the Black Blind Island and even the Sino-Russian border issue." The two sides agreed: the content of the agreement cannot be made public!!
In other words, the mouth of Huaxia's big rooster will never be wanted! Hailan Pao and Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun don't want it! Vladivostok has been a Chinese territory since ancient times, don't you want it?
No matter what dynasty, traitors are always so high-sounding, and traitors are so justifiable, what a great spectacle! Fortunately, the pillar of shame of history will always exist, and once the time is ripe, all traitors will eventually be nailed up!
When Lalewski received the news that all his family members had been killed, he knew that he was already in danger. Five days ago, it was his turn to lead a team to patrol the so-called "national border", that is, the waterway through the river, and it was his last chance to escape for his life.
I didn't expect things to change in another way!
It turned out that the escape route conceived by Lalewski was to take advantage of the advantages of the rivers in the Tongjiang waterway to bring the "Red Eastern" shallow heavy gunboat and the "Proletarian" gunboat in, and then find an opportunity to escape into the dense forest.
Unexpectedly, just halfway through, the "Proletarian" raised a flag to make the "Red East" stop immediately, saying that there was something important to discuss!
For example, Lalewski doesn't know if his plan has been exposed, so he seems to be worried. But now, even if you want to jump into the water, it's impossible. Therefore, the "Red East" had to be ordered to slow down and wait for the "proletarians" to come to help.
As a result, as soon as the two ships made contact, three people disembarked from the "proletarians" and quickly dragged Rulalevsky into the captain's room. It was none other than the captain of the "Proletarian", Major Beljakovich, who led the trouble.
For example, Lalewski thought he had been arrested, but still reported a glimmer of hope: "Belyakovic, what do you want to do?" โ
"Lieutenant Colonel, my father was originally an engineer at the 1st Central Shipbuilding Design Bureau, but not long ago he was shot inexplicably, and my mother and two sisters were also arrested and shot, and it is said that someone will be sent to arrest me soon." Belyakovic's eyes were red: "I can't wait here to die, so I'm going to run away." As long as you order the fleet to come to the south shore and let us go down, for the sake of our original relationship, we will not embarrass you. โ
For example, Lalewski was shocked, but there was no expression on his face: "Are all three of you leaving?" โ
Belyakovich shook his head: "No, when I come out this time, the entire 35 people on the ship will leave!" We are all Ukrainian soldiers, and there is already news from our homes, so that we will not all go home! Later, when I received the news, everyone thought that they could not stay any longer, and that they had to flee immediately! โ
"I agree that you will have no problem leaving!" Rulalevsky nodded and said: "But there are still 73 people on my Red Vostok, what if they don't agree?" โ
Belyakovich said coldly: "Then there is no need to say so much, if we encounter opponents, we can only shoot in self-defense!" โ
Zhuravlesky asked again: "Have you decided here?" Once you take a step forward in this kind of thing, you can never turn back! โ
Beliavich said with red eyes: "Dad, Mom, and Sister have all been killed, can I turn back?" โ
"That's okay, I'll go with you, otherwise, it's treason to let you go, and I'll still die!" For example, Lalewski took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Beliavich and said: "Actually, my situation is the same as yours, if you hadn't asked me to stop, maybe I would have run away!" โ
"In that case, it's better to do nothing!" Beljakovic read the letter, immediately saluted Rulalevski, and then said murderously: "Since you want to escape to the other side, you must have a greeting gift!" Simply surrender with a warship! โ
After some conspiracy, the four men finally agreed to Rulalevsky's original plan and drove the two warships into the dense forest in the river near the outpost on the city of Talabanov Island (Bear Blind Island).
The 35 men on board the "Proletarian" quietly carried weapons aboard the "Red East" and carried out a "great purge" of the other 73 people. Starting from the political commissar, none of the branch secretaries and party members remained, and finally 13 people remained.
The total number of people who decided to defect on the two warships is 53 people in total! In the end, he didn't do two things, and simply touched the sentry of a squad in the Chengshan outpost! Then he set out overnight, drove two warships into the southernmost part of Lake Dalijia, and then broke off branches and hid them, and in the blink of an eye it was five days.
"We had long wanted to take the warship and go along the Suifen River to Jiamusi to find the Japanese, but we didn't expect that there were anti-Japanese teams everywhere here. We were afraid that they would catch us and send us back, so we hid in Tarabanov Island all the time. โ
For example, Lalevsky gave a basic briefing on the situation, and finally said: "Comrade commander, there is not enough food on the warship. In addition, the news of the loss of the Chengshan outpost could not be concealed for a long time, so the night before yesterday, I led five comrades up to look for food, and at the same time wanted to know about the strength of the escape, but I didn't expect to meet your people. โ
Shi Liancheng nodded: "Comrade Ralevsky, don't worry!" What is the state of the two warships you mentioned, I need to report to the commander-in-chief. โ
For example, Ralevsky wrenched his fingers and said: "The Red Vostok is 70.9 meters long, 12.8 meters wide, 1.41 meters draft, 965 tons of displacement, 4 steam boilers, a total power of 1,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 11.5 knots, and a cruising range of 3,726 nautical miles/8 knots. Deck armor 38~76mm, turret armor 25~76mm, turret armor 51mm, conning tower armor 51mm. The capacity is 237 people. โ
"Armament: 4 152mm heavy guns, 1,200 shells; 2 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 20mm anti-aircraft guns, 12,000 shells; 4 x 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns (DK heavy machine guns) with 80,000 rounds of ammunition and 5 x 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine guns (Maxim heavy machine guns) with 120,000 rounds of ammunition. โ
"Proletarian shallow-water gunboat, 54.5 meters long, 8.2 meters wide, draft 1.1 meters, displacement 244 tons, horsepower 250-270 horsepower, maximum speed 10 knots, endurance 1700 nautical miles / 8 knots. It has 12.7mm of side armor and 9.5mm of deck armor, and the crew is 63 people. โ
"Armament: 2 120mm cannons of 45x caliber, 1 122mm army howitzer, 4 7.62mm machine guns (M1931 Maxim heavy machine gun)."
In addition, the ship has a total of 280 people's submachine guns (PPD-34) and 96 DP light machine guns in stock, and all kinds of ammunition have not been used, and now there are 720,000 rounds of various bullets in stock. In addition, there are 2,400 grenades with wooden handles, 7 radio stations of various types, and 11 walkie-talkies. What we are most in need of now is food, and I hope that Your Excellency the Commander will do everything in his power to help. โ
Shi Liancheng nodded: "Of course, regarding your food problem, I will find a way to solve it immediately." You can rest assured that the commander-in-chief has ordered me to guarantee your safety at any cost, and there will be no problem. Now go down and rest for a while, and we'll discuss what to do. โ
Tang Pingshan, the captain of the guard team, politely took Rulalevsky away and arranged for him to eat and rest in another cave. Liu Wanruo had been serving as a meeting recorder on the side, and when the conversation was over, he immediately went to the side to send a report to Chengde, reporting in detail on the situation of the two warships.
At this time, the platoon commanders of the three special operations platoons had already arrived here, and the meeting naturally began immediately.
"Old Meng, tell me, what's going on?" Shi Liancheng scratched the back of his head: "Damn, this thing is very difficult to fix, you know?" Did we go and kill all the hairy checkpoints? But how can such a big warship hide? โ
"I caught these six people!" Zhang Jingfu said: "I took a squad to go out day and night, and quickly whipped along the Suifen River, all the way to the east to reconnoitre. Unexpectedly, not long after passing Tongjiang, on the night of three days ago, we were just about to set out to reconnoitre, when we saw the six of them sneaking around in the mountains and forests. โ
"At first, we didn't take it seriously, after all, the place was unfamiliar and we didn't want to cause trouble. However, I soon reversed my decision and decided that it was necessary to get them back. Because the submachine gun in their hands is also hung with a big drum, it is very similar to our Dingwei No. 1. โ
"I scattered them all and laid them in ambush on their path, so I captured them alive without much effort. Later, when I asked in Japanese, they were going to surrender to the little devils, so they had to do it! So bet them all back and see what you're going to do. โ
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
