Chapter 116 Order of the Third War Zone to Attack Jiangshan County

At six o'clock in the morning, Boss Dai and Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu, who were waiting for news in Gu Zhutong's office, finally waited for good news.

Gu Zhutong personally ran to the office with a telegram from the Special Melee Team.

Gu Zhutong laughed and said, "Two generals, my radio station has finally contacted the Special Melee Team. The Special Melee Team called and said that last night they fought two Japanese ambushes in a row. The first ambush to destroy about one Japanese brigade, and the second ambush to destroy the team led by the Japanese corps captain Sasov, wiped out all of them, and killed the Captain Sasov and the entire unit below. After two days of fighting, they killed about two thousand Japanese troops. The Special Melee Team requested us to give us instructions for the next action."

Boss Dai quickly took the telegram and read it. Wang Jingjiu snatched the telegram from Boss Dai to read it.

Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu slapped the telegram on the table and laughed and said, "The total number of people is less than 200, and he has repeatedly wiped out ten times the Japanese army. It's amazing. Zhang Junhao is a real god of war."

Gu Zhutong smiled and said, "When the Japanese artillery train was blown up, the Japanese howitzers lost their function, and my third war zone was more confident to fight against the Japanese army. The failure of the Japanese army was destined, and the final victory must belong to us."

Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu smiled and said, "Now you finally know the value of Zhang Junhao? If the 86th Army had not been helped by Zhang Junhao, it would have been wiped out by the Japanese army in Quzhou City long ago! The significance of rescuing the 86th Army is not only tens of thousands of troops, but also the confidence of the warriors in the War of Resistance! "

Gu Zhutong nodded and said, "Yes. I want to ask Chongqing to give Zhang Junhao a heavy reward."

Boss Dai smiled and said, "We jointly generate electricity for Chongqing and request a reward of Zhang Junhao."

After the three of them joking for a while, Gu Zhutong sighed and said, "Since I have contacted Zhang Junhao, I think I have to work hard to attack the Japanese army behind the enemy."

Boss Dai frowned and asked, "What target is attacking?"

Gu Zhutong sighed and said, "It is best to attack Jiangshan County and set out to cut off the Japanese army's retreat to shake the confidence of the Japanese army on the front."

Boss Dai saw Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu. After thinking about it, Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu nodded and said, "You must give Zhang Junhao the privileges and let Zhang Junhao command the Jiangshan County militia. The two ministries united to launch an attack on Jiangshan County."

Gu Zhutong nodded and said, "Okay! I will give you this order. I will order the county magistrate Jiangshan to obey Zhang Junhao's orders."

At around seven o'clock, Zhang Junhao saw the telegram handed to him by Zhang Boliang.

Attack Jiangshan County!

Join forces with Jiangshan County militia!

How to contact the Jiangshan County Militia?

This is Zhang Junhao. Once he receives the order from his superiors, he will immediately devote himself to thinking about executing the order.

Zhang Junhao, who originally wanted to go down the Wuxi River to Xujia Village, decided to change his direction and turn to the country.

On the hillside, the sun shines on the open space, and Zhang Junhao presided over the meeting.

After Zhang Junhao showed everyone the orders of the Third War Zone, he said: "The Third War Zone ordered us to join forces with the Jiangshan militia to attack Jiangshan County, which shows that the war ahead is very tight. The Japanese army does not need heavy artillery and tanks, but with aircraft, even if there are no aircraft, each team has a stronger firepower than the national army. We must support the front army. This battle must be fought, and it must be fought so that the Japanese army will send heavy troops to garrison."

The participants nodded together, their faces were solemn, and they fell into thinking.

Lieutenant Colonel Luo Zhong frowned and whispered: "Captain, it is obviously unrealistic for us to attack the county town. The combat effectiveness of the militia is very limited, and they don't even have a few guns."

Yang Jianhu echoed: "The war must be fought, but we must be mentally prepared to suffer heavy damage from the Japanese army."

Zhang Junhao looked at the others, and everyone else lowered his head.

Zhang Junhao asked with a smile: "Why must we attack the county town? Why must we suffer a severe blow?"

Lieutenant Colonel Luo Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "It is an order from the superiors to attack the county town! The telegram is not written very clearly! The few of us attacked the county town, and the troops were seriously insufficient!"

Zhang Junhao waved his hand and said, "We have never fought a tough battle. Fighting a tough battle is our weakness, so we must avoid it. We must give full play to our strengths and ambush the Japanese army in Jiangshan County."

Lieutenant Colonel Luo Zhong shook his head and said, "How to fight? The Japanese army hides in the city."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Teel him to attack and lead him into the ambush circle."

Lieutenant Colonel Luo Zhong laughed and said, "The lesson of the Sasov corps being annihilated by us, can the Japanese army in Jiangshan County not draw on it?"

Zhang Junhao asked back: "Where is the Jiangshan Vanguard? If the Jiangshan Vanguard attacks the county town, what would the Japanese army in Jiangshan City think? Will they want to defeat it in one fell swoop?"

Lieutenant Colonel Luo Zhong's eyes lit up, his face opened with a smile, and said with a smile: "I understand! It turns out that you want to use the Jiangshan militia to lure the Japanese troops stationed in Jiangshan County to attack, and our special melee team ambushed him."

Zhang Junhao nodded and smiled, "Yes. As long as the Japanese army leaves the city and enters our ambush circle, I am confident that I will defeat it for about two thousand Japanese troops!"

Lieutenant Colonel Luo Zhong asked: "How to contact the Jiangshan County militia?"

Zhang Junhao looked at Wang Jinxian and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang and Wang Jinxian took my order to ride a horse to Qinghu to find the militia and tell them our plan. Let them find us a suitable ambush place and order them to prepare tonight. Tomorrow, feint attacking Jiangshan County and lure the Japanese army to the ambush place. After the ambush place was found, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang temporarily kept the militia and urged him to execute the order. Wang Jinxian rode back. Of course, Wang Jinxian didn't return here to find us. We went to Jiangshan overnight, found a shallow place to cross and ambush. Wang Jinxian took a walkie-jet to the riverside and called us on the walkie-jet."

At around nine o'clock, the special melee team entered the mountains again and advanced to the west under the guidance of the direction.

At around 4 pm, the special melee team arrived at the Jiangshangang River and ambushed in the woods on the mountain, and everyone ate and slept.

The 32nd Army stationed across Jiangshan and also set up a command center in Jiangshan; the 49th Army, with Wang Tiehan as the commander of the army, and the 58th Division of the 74th Army, with Zhang Lingfu as the commander of the division, were also stationed across Jiangshan County. The provincial government also worked in Jiangshan, and Jiangshan had a good foundation for the war of resistance. When the Japanese army attacked Quzhou City, the county government mobilized more than 30,000 migrant workers and cooperated with the National Army to destroy the Qu (county) Guang (Feng) Highway and Hangzhou-Jiangjiang Railway to prevent the passage of Japanese chariots and horses and mechanized troops. However, the Japanese infantry and cavalry still bombed with mortar cannons, fired light and heavy machine guns, and attacked the city gate defenders with heavy firepower. More than 20 Japanese aircraft not only cooperated with the siege, but also bombed Shimen, Fenglin, Xiakou, Erbadu and other market towns, dropped more than 40 bombs, shocking Jiangshan police and civilians.

The Jiangshan County Regiment Police Command was a newly established commanding body to unify the command of the county National Militia Regiment and the county police brigade on June 3 before the Japanese army attacked Jiangshan. The county magistrate and the commander of the National Militia Regiment Ding Cong was the commander, and the deputy commander of the National Militia Regiment Li Yide was the deputy commander. Due to lack of combat experience, and at that time, there were only 115 police officers and soldiers in the entire police brigade at that time, and more than 70 guns; the county National Militia Regiment, which claimed to have 50,000 militias, was only three or four hundred people who could fight with guns, only 280 guns in length and short guns, and 289 grenades.

It was such a local armed force. Facing planes and cannons, more than 3,000 Japanese invaders were well-trained, and they fought hard for about 2 hours. Finally, because the enemy was strong and we were weak, the county regiment police command had to give up the county town and lead the team to break through in the direction of Qinghu.

Zhang Boliang and Wang Jinxian took Zhang Junhao's order and rode a horse to Qinghu to find the Jiangshan County militia.

First, the third war zone gave county magistrate Ding Cong a special telegram, ordering him to obey the command of Zhang Junhao, the captain of the special melee team, and cooperate with the special melee team to attack Jiangshan County. Second, after the militia arrived in Qinghu area, it did not disband, but continued to move.

Zhang Boliang and Wang Jinxian came on horseback and were immediately discovered by the militia. After Zhang Boliang showed Zhang Junhao's orders and explained the militia, he was immediately taken to meet county magistrate Ding Cong and deputy commander Li Yide.

After Zhang Boliang showed the lieutenant colonel's certificate and Zhang Junhao's order to the county magistrate Ding Cong and deputy commander Li Yide, he said: "The special melee team has arrived in this area. Captain Zhang Junhao asked you to prepare for a feint attack on Jiangshan County overnight, launch an attack operation tomorrow morning, and then lure them into the ambush circle, and the special melee team annihilated the Japanese army chasing your militia. This area is your territory. Please find the ambush location for the special melee team immediately and mobilize the militia to prepare for a feint attack on Jiangshan County overnight."

How could Ding Cong and others not know about the special melee team bombing Japanese trains and ambushing and eliminating a large number of Japanese troops? Although they didn't know what team did it, they admired this team very much.

When Zhang Boliang borrowed Zhang Junhao's order to ask them to prepare for attacking Jiangshan County overnight, County Magistrate Ding Cong and Deputy Commander Li Yide immediately agreed that County Magistrate Ding Cong would issue a notice to each department, requiring the heads of each department to go to the command center for a meeting immediately, and Li Yide personally accompanied Zhang Boliang to inspect the ambush site.
