July 28, 1937, night, 12 o'clock.
The First Corps, Second Corps, and Teaching Corps of Tongxian County Security Corps revolted under the command of Meng Shaoyuan, Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Yantian, Shen Weigan and others.
The uprising troops used Lu Zuci as their general headquarters, and the troops were divided into three groups and acted simultaneously.
With a gunshot at midnight, the "Tongxian Uprising" that shocked China and the world broke out!
The rebel troops quickly occupied the governor's office and other important institutions.
When Yin Rugeng, chairman of the pseudo-Jidong Autonomous Government, heard the gunfire, he was in chaos and hurriedly called his captain of the guard. Unfortunately, the captain of the guard had been "invited" to the Lu Zu Temple as a "guest" before the uprising broke out.
Shen Weiqian personally directed the group and quickly rushed into Yin Rugeng's residence.
Where are people?
In the room, there was only one servant standing there at a loss. .
Shen Weiqian knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't waste any time and pointed the gun directly at the servant's head: "Where is the person?"
The servant was frightened. He couldn't afford to let his life go.
He pointed to the top of a cabinet and shouted: "Sir, please come out!"
At this time, Yin Rugeng was hiding on the top of the cabinet. His whereabouts were exposed and he was trembling. Where could he move?
Shen Weiqian became impatient and ordered two soldiers to pull him down. Looking at Yin Rugeng who was shaking like chaff, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Chairman Yin, why are you doing this?"
At this time, the Xuandao Regiment, the main force of the Japanese army in Tong County, had been transferred to Nanyuan during the pursuit due to the emergency situation at Marco Polo Bridge after fighting with the Xu Xihao Battalion of the 29th Army.
The Japanese troops remaining in Tongzhou, together with the military police, military police, and Japanese overseas Chinese, totaling 600 to 700 people, heard about the incident, and most of them fled to the Japanese barracks to resist.
The barracks are well fortified and have sufficient ammunition.
Along the way, Zhang Qingyu commanded a corps to be responsible for the attack.
Compared with the garrison, the secret service agency was a bit miserable.
They had gone through many drills before. What would they do if a Chinese mutiny broke out in Tong County?
The garrison barracks served as the base camp, and the Hosokushige secret service agency on the side provided flanking protection.
The two are each other's horns.
So when the gunshots of the uprising rang out, Shigeru Hosoki immediately knew that something big was going on.
Unfortunately, the plan was good, but now that the Xuanjima Regiment has evacuated, the garrison barracks is under fierce attack by the uprising troops and cannot provide support to Hosokushige at all.
The number of people in the secret service is very small, and most of them have light weapons. They cannot stop a group of Chinese soldiers who are full of anger and look like wolves and tigers.
In just one charge, the rebel forces had already captured the secret service.
Hosokushige still led a few people to resist, and he rushed out waving a short gun.
The rebel officers and soldiers aimed their guns at them.
"Sakura..."
When he saw "Sakuragi Hanamichi" appearing in front of him, Hosokushige was stunned.
he is……
Chinese spy?
Meng Shaoyuan actually smiled: "Hello."
be cheated!
Hosokushige gritted his teeth, but he had no time to pay attention to "Sakuragi Hanamichi" now. He yelled at the top of his lungs to the rebel officers and soldiers: "Go back to your team quickly and don't follow the bad guys to cause trouble. Otherwise, when the imperial army arrives, you will never survive." !”
"are you crazy?"
Meng Shaoyuan burst out with this sentence: "You are really crazy!"
"Bang bang bang".
Meng Shaoyuan fired three shots.
Hosokushige didn't say a word at all and fell to the ground.
Immediately, gunshots from the rebel officers and soldiers behind him rang out at the same time.
Those Japanese spies all fell in a pool of blood.
Shigeru Hosoki, chief of the Japan Special Agency in Tong County, Lieutenant Colonel, died at 0:15 in the morning on July 29, 1937.
Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the corpse on the ground, took out an Ace of Grass Flowers from his pocket, and threw it onto Hosokushige's body...
He and Shigeru Hosoki were both agents. The only difference was that he was still alive while Shigeru Hosoki was dead.
For the sake of his colleagues, he deserved to receive one of his own playing cards.
After completely wiping out the Japanese special forces, Meng Shaoyuan quickly led his officers and soldiers to the main battlefield:
Japanese garrison barracks in Tong County.
The sound of killing here is loud, and the sound of gunfire comes one after another.
However, the situation is not optimistic.
"Director Meng."
When he saw Meng Shaoyuan appear, Zhang Qingyu, who was personally directing the battle on the front line, looked a little angry: "I rushed four times, but the firepower inside was too strong, and they were all shot down. I killed more than 200 brothers!"
Damn it, more than two hundred soldiers were killed?
Meng Shaoyuan took a look and saw that in the Japanese garrison barracks opposite, a crossfire of light and heavy machine guns was tightly blocking the path of the charge.
At this time, the first team launched a new round of charge.
However, the insurgent officers and soldiers had just rushed a few steps, and fell to the ground one after another under the blow of a whirlwind of dense bullets.
It is difficult to break through the Japanese barracks by fighting hard.
"Get down, get down!" Meng Shaoyuan shouted: "You can't fight hard, you can't fight hard! Where is my map? Where is the map I drew for you?"
Get the map quickly.
Meng Shaoyuan pointed at the map: "Did you see that there is a gasoline depot here? Ask the brothers to get me all the oil barrels and pile them around the barracks. Master, I want to burn the Japanese pigs!"
Zhang Qingyu was overjoyed.
Not long after, a large number of gasoline barrels were transported.
While Meng Shaoyuan concentrated his firepower to suppress the barracks opposite, he asked his brothers to pile all the gasoline barrels around the Japanese barracks.
It’s done.
Perfect.
A smile flashed across Meng Shaoyuan's face: "First Corps, you give the order."
Zhang Qingyu nodded vigorously, took out his gun, and fired a "bang" shot at the opposite side: "Start!"
start!
With an order, the barracks suddenly burst into flames.
The Japanese never thought that the rebellious officers and soldiers would use such a method to deal with them. In an instant, the barracks became a melting pot, and the Japanese fled in all directions, crying and howling.
But where can they run?
Inside, there were blazing fires everywhere. Outside, there are bullets of revenge from the rebel officers and soldiers!
When the fire subsided, the insurrectionary officers and soldiers stormed into the barracks in one go.
The final battle of the Tongxian Uprising has arrived!
That's it.
Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that at this point the uprising had succeeded!
Let the rebellious officers and soldiers complete the rest.
No one was more angry with the Japanese than they were.
Own?
sleep.
It's already four o'clock in the morning, so I need to take this opportunity to be confused for a while.
Meng Shaoyuan found a warehouse and laid strips on the ground. As soon as he lay down, although the sound of gunfire outside was shaking, he fell asleep soon after.
I don't know how much time passed, but someone kept shaking me: "Director Meng, Director Meng."
Meng Shaoyuan opened his eyes in a daze, and it was Song Deng.
"Finished?"
He stretched and got up.
"The fight is over!" Song Deng said excitedly.
Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the warehouse.
Its daybreak.
Now, it's 8 o'clock in the morning.
In addition to sporadic gunshots outside, there were more bursts of cheers.
A huge flag was flying there, and the insurrectionary officers and soldiers waved their guns happily.
Japanese corpses can be seen everywhere.
"Director Meng, Director Meng!"
Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Yantian, and Shen Weiqian came over excitedly. As soon as they met, Zhang Qingyu said loudly, "Report to Director Meng, the fighting in Tong County has stopped. I revolted the officers and soldiers, captured Yin Rugeng, chairman of the puppet government alive, and killed including the education Department consultant Zhu Tengmao. Gendarmerie captain He Tian Naixiong, Tong County consultant Shen Mao and the president of Jidong Bank were the first-day people, 260 people."
"good!"
The uprising was a great success.
This is equivalent to almost wiping out the Japanese in Tong County.
"Prepare to retreat." Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered.
The Japanese revenge will come soon.
According to the plan, once the uprising succeeds, the troops will immediately evacuate Tongxian County and break out and move towards Baoding.
And soon, the insufficiency of the uprising troops was exposed.
During the uprising, everyone rushed and fought out of righteous indignation, regardless of life or death.
But when the uprising succeeded, these officers and soldiers became procrastinating.
Some of them live in Tong County all year round and have settled their homes here. All they think about is how to send their wives, children and family members away.
Some broke into Japanese homes and plundered valuables.
As a result, it was delayed until close to noon before the assembly was barely completed.
This was something Meng Shaoyuan had not calculated.
Originally, at this time, they were already on their way to Baoding.
But it's already 11 o'clock, and they are still in Tong County!
"Plane! Plane!"
Suddenly, someone pointed at the sky and shouted loudly.
More than 20 Japanese aircraft appeared.
They rushed to the sky above Tong County with great momentum and bombarded them indiscriminately.
The insurrectionary officers and soldiers who had just completed their assembly fled in all directions under the sudden air raid and suffered heavy casualties.
"First team, gather the team, withdraw, withdraw!"
Meng Shaoyuan yelled.
"Director Meng." Zhang Qingyu pulled Meng Shaoyuan to a relatively safe place nearby. Amidst the explosion, he had to shout loudly to let Meng Shaoyuan hear what he was saying clearly:
"Director Meng, I have discussed with the Second Corps and Commander Shen that we are not going to Baoding, we are going to Peking."
"What? Peiping?"
"Many people in the security team used to be bandits. As you saw after the victory of the uprising, they had no military discipline. I thought, once we arrive in Baoding, what will we do if we cause harm to the place? Why don't we go while they are still here? Peiping, join up with the 29th Army and fight against Little Japan."
"No way." Meng Shaoyuan said hurriedly: "The 29th Army is fighting fiercely with the main force of the Japanese army. There is no way to meet us. The Japanese will definitely encircle us. With the security team, we can't stop it!"
"Director Meng!" Zhang Qingyu, however, was particularly stubborn: "We have been traitors for a long time. Now it's over. If something happens, let us do it vigorously."
Meng Shaoyuan was silent.
The explosions outside became more and more violent.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Assemble the security team, rush out of Tong County, split into two groups, move towards Pingxi, and try every means to join the 29th Army!"
"yes!"
"Also, that Yin Rugeng." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly remembered this person: "Kill him!"
"Kill?" Zhang Qingyu hesitated for a moment: "Director Meng, Yin Rugeng committed a heinous crime and should have been killed, but he was once a confidant of Acting Chairman He Yingqin and Chairman Huang Yong. In case... I think we should be escorted to Peking and handed over to Song Zheyuan Deal with it.”
Can't kill?
This person is of no use anyway.
In an instant, a new idea quickly popped up in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.
