Chapter 341: Occupy Yuxikou
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, hundreds of ships appeared on the river surface where a sampan could not be seen, including black-sailed boats, sailboats, small steamer, and bamboo rafts...
This was the first time Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun met in their lives.
"Liu Xinyu, the captain of the water transport volunteer team of the Honorary First Division, who is Luo Lun of the New 38th Brigade?" Liu Xinyu came over in person in charge of his minesweeper.
This is the only combat ship that the transport team can take advantage of.
It was seized from the Japanese army and was injured. After repair, it rejuvenated. The main attack weapon of this minesweeper is two 37mm machine guns.
"I am, Captain Liu, you are finally here, it's no matter how long!" Luo Yufeng came forward and held Liu Xinyu's hands tightly.
"Hello Chief Luo!"
"Okay, thank you Captain Liu for your hard work. Can we cross the river now?"
"This time we have mobilized a total of 300 large and small ferries to try to send you across the river in one fell swoop." Liu Xinyu replied.
"Three hundred ships are enough, enough!" Luo Yufeng was overjoyed and said repeatedly.
"We have all loaded heavy weapons and cars on the barges. We have arrived in total four barges worth 500 tons. We can take away any heavy equipment you have."
"That's great!" Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun's previous worries were instantly wiped out.
Pukou, Honorary First Division Command.
Although Leng Feng was still a little worried that so many troops crossed the river at one time, they were still at night. Even if Liu Xinyu accumulated a lot of experience in crossing the river at night, it was on the water and water was invisible. Once something happened, it was not a trivial matter.
What's more, the Japanese Navy has opened a narrow passage, and Japanese patrol ships have appeared on the river. If they encounter it, the target will be exposed.
Dangdang...
The clock hand on the wall pointed to the ten o'clock position.
"Boss?"
"How is it? Is there any news?" Leng Feng asked anxiously.
"The fastest steamer has already docked at the Wujiang Town Wharf, and the ships behind it have been docked one after another. Liu Xinyu's driving "Xiangyang" was at the end, and he was with the brigade department of the New 38th Brigade." Guo Weiquan smiled and reported.
"Okay, okay, it's finally here." The worries between Leng Feng's eyebrows stretched out.
On February 7, at 4:00 p.m. on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the reconnaissance battalion of the New 38th Brigade rushed to Yuxikou. At this time, Yuxikou was quite busy. The coal from the Huainan Coal Mine was loaded through the railway transportation route Yuxikou. After loading the ship at Yuxikou, it was transported to Wuhu, and then shipped from Wuhu to Shanghai, Suzhou and other areas.
Because the New 38th Brigade occupied Xuancheng and the Yangtze River waterway was blocked, piles of coal were accumulated at the mouth of Yuxi to be loaded and transported.
Without coal, many power plants in Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places will be out of power, and the daily heating of people's daily lives will also be affected. The prices of coal in the market have begun to rise.
Coal is a strategic resource and they urgently need it. Therefore, before the Xuancheng transportation line was fully restored, the coal from Yuxikou began to be loaded and transported to Wuhu first.
The Japanese had not yet controlled the Huainan Railway and Huainan Coal Mine, but the coal transportation business did not seem to have stopped due to the Sino-Japanese War.
The reason is very high-sounding. Although the Japanese are very salivating about coal, what should the people in the area occupying the country do if they don’t sell coal? This winter, they also need coal to make fires to keep warm. Moreover, the Huainan coal mine is now a private enterprise, and the government cannot force them not to sell coal.
So how can the workers who rely on this railway and dig coal to make a living?
As long as the Japanese do not occupy the Huainan Railway and Huainan Coal Mine for a day, the coal business will be done as usual.
However, Wuhan has also been prepared to blow up the Huainan Railway and has no intention of handing over the railway and coal mine to the Japanese.
But it's not time to blow up railways and coal mines.
The coal produced here is also supplied to the people of the National Government. No one is willing to blow up the railways and coal mines built with huge sums of money unless they have to.
Huainan coal mine has a large storage capacity and high quality. It will be a matter of time before the Japanese occupy it. The government knew this very well, and with the idea that it would be a day to exist, it would also lead to less losses.
The guardian of Yuxikou was a local security team. The commander of the regiment was Liu Hongyu. There were less than 600 people. The weapons and equipment were not bad. After all, the financial resources of the financial owners were not weak.
But the combat effectiveness is hard to say.
"Captain Liu, General Inaba said that as long as you let go of the dock and let the Imperial Army go ashore directly, then, in the new government, there will be at least one brigade commander, and the military rank will be at least a major general."
"Now the Japanese are in great power, and the National Government has moved its capital to Chongqing. Sooner or later, the world belongs to the Japanese. Now, it is the minister of the Dragon, and the future is unlimited."
"Liu Hongyu, you know the times and be a hero. You guy think carefully."
"Can you allow Liu to think about it?"
"At the latest morning, don't blame me for not reminding you that such a good opportunity will not be able to pass this village." The middle-aged man with a small part and wearing a blue plaid suit, looking arrogant.
"I know, thank you Mr. Saito."
"Adminton Qiu, see off the guests!"
Liu Hongyu was confused when he sent off this Japanese Saito. This was obviously an ultimatum. The Japanese were going to land at Yuxikou tomorrow.
No matter how foolish it is, it can be seen that he is a security team who usually bullies the common people. If he really fights with the Japanese, he is no match for him at all.
In fact, there had been a sign of this day. If it weren't for the fact that the whole family was all in Yuxikou, Liu Hongyu would have already left the house. The security team leader would have liked to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like to be the one who would like
If I want to be a traitor, my mother at home will definitely not be able to pass that level.
"Round seat, group seat, it's not good, it's not good..."
"What's the panic? The Japanese are calling?" Liu Hongyu jumped up and cursed.
"No, no, it's ****, ****..."
"****He's gone..."
"Who is the leader here?" The reconnaissance battalion of the New 38th Brigade sent people to investigate Yuxikou. When he found that there was no trace of the Japanese army, he led his men directly into Yuxikou.
When the security team saw that it was ****, it was so aggressive that no one dared to come forward to stop it.
He just kept rushing into the security team's headquarters.
"I am Liu Hongyu, the head of the security team, who is the sir?" Liu Hongyu was so scared that he was so scared that the Japanese lobbyist had just left. **** came. Could it be that his secret meeting with Saito was exposed?
"Cao Xingyang, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the new 38th Brigade."
"It turns out that it is Captain Cao. It's really a rare guest. Come and ask Adjutant Qiu to make Captain Cao a pot of hot tea!" Liu Hongyu said with a smile on his face.
"I don't drink tea. From now on, we will be responsible for the defense at Yuxikou. You and your security team are not allowed to leave the military camp at this time. Do you understand if you violate the military law?" Cao Xingyang said heavily.
"Captain Cao, what are you doing? Our security team did nothing?" Liu Hongyu said aggrievedly.
"Send a report to the brigade, saying that we have controlled Yuxikou and no Japanese troops have been found. In order to ensure that the news is not leaked, our generals changed into the uniform of the Yuxi Security Corps, blocked the roads and bridges entering and leaving Yuxikou, and built blocking positions at the dock." Cao Xingyang ordered the correspondents to say.
Liu Hongyu was not stupid. When he saw this attitude, he knew that **** might have known that the Japanese army was going to cross the river from Yuxikou, so he sent troops to take the lead and occupy Yuxikou.
At this time, he had two choices. First, he was to threaten Saito to him and let him go to Yuxikou port. He told Cao Xingyang that he would make a contribution when he landed in the air. He would not have to be stabbed in the back and scolded a traitor in the future. Second, he was to conceal the news that the Japanese army was about to land, and then when the Japanese army landed, he shot this **** from behind to cooperate with him. He welcomed the Japanese army ashore, and from then on, he devoted himself to the Japanese, became a slave to the Japanese, and then enjoyed the so-called glory and wealth.
Liu Hongyu thought about it carefully and found that **** would be defeated sooner or later. Even if he made contributions to ****, his home is in Yuxikou, so Li will definitely be left behind. Once the Japanese find out, they will definitely settle the score in the fall.
Who will he cry at that time?
Therefore, it is still more reliable for the Japanese. As the head of the security team, he gave him a lieutenant colonel. He was very watery. With his ability, he would never be able to become a general in his life.
It's still enough for the Japanese to be the brigade commander and major general. This is a great thing for generals and ministers. If the Japanese win the world in the future, they will be the minister of the dragon, and at least they can leave a mark in history books.
"Adminton Qiu!"
“Top seat…”
"You do something for me..."
"Tell Cao Xingyang, the situation in Yuxikou is complicated. There are no less than 20 Japanese business companies. It is hard to say whether this Yuxikou security team can believe it now. It is best to disarm directly." Luo Yufeng received a telegram from Cao Xingyang and ordered.
"It's not good to disarm. After all, it's a friendly army. There is no evidence that the security team will be in a hurry. We have no reason to confiscate their guns. If it causes a change, it will be troublesome."
"It's a bit inappropriate to disarm, but the ammunition depot must be controlled by us so that it can be received too much." Luo Yufeng thought for a while, and felt that what Qin Yankun said made sense, and that nothing should not be too domineering.
Yuxikou, the security regiment barracks, which have been controlled by the reconnaissance battalion.
"Zhangzu, our people just saw it..."
"Send someone to look at it. When we come, the occupants will tell us to be cautious and not let go of any small matters. It will lead to a great loss." A cold light flashed in Cao Xingyang's eyes.
"clear."
"Saito Fusuke, Japanese?"
"I asked a platoon leader of the security team. Saito and Liu Hongyu have a good relationship. They often drink and eat together. They are a normal Japanese businessman."
"If it were normal, why did Liu Hongyu send his adjutant to find him quietly?"
"Maybe he was afraid that we would know his relationship with Saito, so..."
"It's not that simple. It's an extraordinary time and extraordinary means to arrest Adjutant Qiu for me and I want to interrogate myself." Cao Xingyang didn't believe this.
"Battle, isn't that good?"
"At this time, as long as we have a relationship with the Japanese, we have to investigate. Is there nothing wrong with this?"
"Understood."
