"What are you doing? Don't light a fire. Don't you have any common sense?"
Dragon Boat Festival was talking to Sun Boan about the difference between soldiers and bandits. Unexpectedly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the soldiers lighting a fire, and there was a curl of smoke rising from the stove.
Duanwu quickly ran over to stop it and put out the fire with water. Then the order was passed down that no one should light a fire.
Because in an empty city where the people have fled, smoke rises. Doesn't this tell the Japanese that there are still troops stationed in Changshan Town?
But at this time, the soldiers said: "Commissioner, we don't make a fire. These dishes also include rice and white flour. How can we cook them and eat them?"
And Xie Jinyuan also said: "Yes, Tuanzu, didn't you say that the little devil will come later? It's just for a while. It doesn't matter."
Duanwu shook his head and said: "Be careful and you will win the battle. We are pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth now. One wrong move and we will lose everything."
Xie Jinyuan said regretfully: "Then there is nothing we can do. We finally found the food, but we have to put it back."
But unexpectedly, Duanwu suddenly jumped up and laughed: "Haha, I lied to you!"
“·················”
Xie Jinyuan was speechless and thought to himself: He is really drunk following such a crazy group every day.
But the soldiers misunderstood. A platoon leader of the 40th Division said: "Commissioner, you mean we can make a fire?"
Snapped!
Dragon Boat Festival hit him with a bang on the head and cursed: "I'm going to kill you. Did you tell me you can't make a fire?"
The platoon leader's head hurt from being beaten, but not only did he not complain, but he also felt that Dragon Boat Festival was approachable.
What is his identity? That's the special correspondent. And what is he? Just a little second lieutenant platoon leader.
The status of the two people is as different as clouds and mud.
But Duanwu was willing to mess around with him. It has to be said that this chief is amiable and caring.
However, things are not settled yet. They need to cook the food well, otherwise they will have to watch the vegetables and meat in front of them rot little by little.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Duanwu pulled out an iron wire and two aluminum wires from nowhere.
The iron wire is about two millimeters, and the aluminum wire is slightly thicker. Then, like magic, it is braided in Duanwu's hands, making it look like a spring over one meter long.
I found a city brick and used a bayonet to cut grooves on it.
The braided metal wires are embedded into the grooves according to the pattern. And energize both ends.
The metal wire gradually heats up and emits a color like coals.
A soldier from the 40th Division said in surprise: "It has a temperature, just like fire."
"The special correspondent is so amazing, he can actually use electricity to create fire."
"I know, I know, this thing seems to be called an electric stove. But I really didn't expect it to be made like this."
"The special correspondent is really well-informed! He knows a lot."
"Isn't this nonsense? If you don't know much, how can you lead us to victory?"
·················
The soldiers couldn't control themselves, but this was just the beginning.
Because this simple electric stove alone cannot solve the problem of eating for all soldiers.
There are too many of them. If they all use electricity, it won't take long for the wires to be burned.
But this is not a problem during the Dragon Boat Festival. The electricity supply is not available and there is so much liquor. By igniting high-density liquor, it can be used as an alcohol stove.
So only half an hour later, the steaming meals were ready. There are meat and vegetables, as well as rice and white flour steamed buns.
If friendly forces saw this scene at this time, they would probably cry with envy. While they were still nibbling cold dry food and eating compressed biscuits, others had already started making soup and eating meat.
The morale of the 40th Division was greatly shaken as a result, and joyful songs and laughter resounded in the afternoon when the sunset was like blood, and in the starry night sky.
The Japanese did not attack Changshan Town. Perhaps because the strategic significance here is not great, all the Japanese troops went to attack military strongholds like Changshu and Fushan. Or maybe Zhou Weiguo attracted the attention of the Japanese to the Fushan position.
Therefore, during this nearly one day, Changshan Town did not encounter any Japanese attacks.
But other troops may not be so lucky. They are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders.
At this time, the Japanese 114th Division had surrounded Guangchen Town. Its 66th Regiment is in the north, the 102nd Regiment is in the west, and the 150th Regiment is in Puzhao Temple in the east.
Before the attack, Japanese aviation exerted great power and effect. The 13th Navy Air Force used 10 Type 96 carrier-based bombers to bomb heavily in turn. At the same time, artillery also opened fire across the board. Guangchen Town was instantly enveloped in a sea of fire and smoke, and almost all the defenders' positions were destroyed.
Japanese infantry quickly broke into the town from all sides, and most of the defenders were forced to evacuate via waterways by boat.
After the Japanese army captured Guangchen Town, a portion of it gathered at Jiziwei west of Guangchen.
At the same time, after taking control of the vicinity of Jiashan, the 18th Division in the north occupied Qianyao Town, five kilometers north of Jiashan.
That night, when Yanagawa Heisuke convened a meeting with his colleagues, he believed that the 10-day Battle of Kodong from the landing of the 10th Army on the 5th to the 15th was not able to annihilate the main force of the enemy, so he decided to ignore the order lines drawn by the General Staff Headquarters. restrictions and boldly pursued towards Nanjing.
To this end, Yanagawa Heisuke deployed the 18th Division from the northeast and the 114th Division from the southeast to form a pincer offensive to the west of Jiaxing and outflank it, while the Kunisaki Detachment prepared to attack Nanxun Town.
Because the Japanese army unexpectedly captured Pingwang Town, the rear of Chapingjia's defense line faced a major threat.
The Chapingjia Defense Line was, at that time, the most complete and strongest defense line in our country. If it loses its original value and role, the Japanese army will definitely be able to march straight in.
Therefore, Zhang Fakui and Liu Jianxu, in order to prevent the Japanese army from succeeding in their encirclement attempt, deployed their main force to move to the line of Nanxun, Qingzhen, Chongde and Haining that day, and only one force continued to guard the vicinity of Jiaxing to delay the Japanese attack.
However, as all the national troops on the front had retreated, the 114th Division was able to quickly advance north of Pinghu on the 16th.
At 19:00 in the evening, Suematsu Shigeharu received the order to continue advancing from Pinghu to Jiaxing with the 127th Brigade, while the main force turned to Fengjing Town and advanced to Jiaxing.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from further breakthrough, the Chinese defenders blew up all the bridges when retreating from Jiashan, forcing the Japanese army to take a detour.
The Japanese troops in Jiaxing were temporarily blocked, but the war was far from over. On the 15th, the Changshu and Fushan positions encountered fierce bombardment by the Japanese army at the same time.
The one who worked hardest to attack Changshu was the main force - the Chongteng detachment.
The Chongteng Detachment was originally a unit stationed in Taiwan. Except for the superior officers, all the ordinary soldiers were soldiers, and the Chongteng Detachment was also known as the Taiwan Brigade! ...
