Revolution 1938

Xuzhou was called "Pengcheng" in ancient times.An important gateway city in East China.Located in the border area of ​​Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui provinces, on the north wing of the Yangtze River Delta, it is adjacent to Shandong Province in the north, Anhui Province in the west, Lianyungang in the east, Suqian in the south, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through it.Known as the "thoroughfare of five provinces".

Historically, Xuzhou was one of the nine states in China. Since ancient times, it has been the key to the North, the gateway to the South, a battleground for military strategists, and a gathering center for merchants.With a history of more than 6000 years of civilization and a history of 4000 years of city building, it is known as the "thousand-year imperial capital", and it is said that "the emperors of nine dynasties were born in Xuzhou".Xuzhou is the birthplace of Han culture, known as "the hometown of Peng Zu, the hometown of Liu Bang, and the old capital of Xiang Yu". It is also called "Oriental Athens" because of its large number of cultural heritages, scenic spots and historic sites and profound historical background.

However, this strategically important and historically famous city suffered two consecutive military disasters in the early summer of 1938. On May 5, Xuzhou had just fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. Within two months, there were suddenly loud gunshots and fierce fighting all night. , Although the sound of guns and guns gradually died down at dawn, it also made the few remaining people in Xuzhou panic.

Of course, the most disturbing thing is Feng Yizhong, Chief of Staff of the Military Commission of the Republic of China Government Military Commission who just came to Xuzhou.

Originally, this kind of acceptance was dominated by politicians. First, after all, it was necessary to go to the Japanese in advance. Who knows if the Japanese will backtrack.Besides, he, the Chief of Staff of the Operation Department, is a key figure in the military aircraft after all, and it would be troublesome if the Japanese were to use their brains in a wrong way.

However, Xuzhou is the northernmost city ceded by the Japanese. Jiawang, which is less than 30 kilometers away from the city, has at least one division of the Japanese army stationed there, and all Japanese troops withdrawn from Central China are sent to the city via Xuzhou. go north.

Originally, the Japanese in Xuzhou were unwilling to give in, because this is one of the transportation hubs from Shanxi to Shandong, and controls the key hub of the Longhai Line. However, for Jiang Kaishen, who is weak when he sees the Japanese, this time the Japanese It's a rare opportunity for someone to come to your door, so you have to be a little tougher, so in the end, it took a lot of effort to include Xuzhou in the list of cities for sale.

Therefore, at that time, it was also considered that Xuzhou would be the front line in the face of Japanese military pressure, and Feng Yizhong, who knew the Japanese better, was sent to Xuzhou as the head of the reception.

However, it was such a coincidence that Feng Yizhong and his party had just arrived in Xuzhou for a few days, and they hadn't even figured out the boundaries of Xuzhou city before the Labor Party called.

But for Feng Yizhong, who specializes in military affairs, he didn't hide in his hotel room like other high-ranking officers that night, panicking. Instead, he took a wine bottle and watched the offensive and defensive battle on the hotel rooftop all night.

Xuzhou was not as defenseless as other cities that the Japanese army wanted to abandon. After all, it was not far from the border of the reserved North China Defense Zone, and Xuzhou was the exit for the retreating Japanese army, so a regiment of troops was still placed around Xuzhou.

However, because of the need to transfer, there are not many troops stationed in Xuzhou City, just some security forces and the so-called security regiment.In the eyes of Feng Yizhong, these are rubbish, but the Japanese did the right thing, they are all ready to let them out, there is no need to let too many people.

However, who would have thought that the Labor Party came from the sky? Logically, even if the Labor Party wants to fight, it will slowly come from the south. When the time comes, the Japanese will only need to move faster. form.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the sun set, the bomb of the Labor Party first fell on the head of the Japanese regiment outside the city as if it had eyes. The big bird, which can fly and stop, pulled out the nails of the Japanese army in Wuhan in a short while.

Originally, the Japanese, who were bored by the bombing, wanted to pack up the remaining soldiers to resist, but they did not expect that the Labor Party could even throw tanks from the sky, and saw two fierce-looking tanks using large-caliber machine guns to kill the Japanese. The entrenched small building was directly swept into a hornet's nest. After these two strokes, the Japanese stopped immediately.

Not to mention those security regiments riding bicycles with box guns and wearing black silk shirts, even the formal Japanese army was helpless in front of the Labor Party.

On the rooftop of the hotel shrouded in darkness, Feng Yizhong watched the entire Xuzhou City shine with the explosion light while drinking, and chattered with his guard involuntarily.

"Look, look, look at these Workers' Party, their skills are moderate, and their defense is rigorous. Compared with them, the Japanese are just elementary school students. Tsk tsk, if you fight in this kind of team, you will enjoy it."

"President Feng, you are just talking about it. It's so dark today, what can you see? Besides, I don't believe that the Labor Party is so good. If it is so good, we didn't just drive them around. Speaking of which, Chairman Jiang is not even more powerful."

"Hehe, back then? At the time, Generalissimo Jiang assembled most of the country's troops to fight tens of thousands of workers from the Workers' Party. He fought five times and lost four times. The last time he said he won, but look at them, isn't he now Shaanxi is living a good life."

"Then it seems that the Labor Party has benefited from the Soviets. It doesn't mean that the Labor Party in Puhai was set up by the Soviets."

"In the Soviet Union, if we want to take advantage of the Soviets, our Chairman Jiang is a master. The Soviets send a division, and the equipment of a division is sent to Wuhan. I don't see any benefits for the Labor Party.

Besides, the Soviets really have such good things? "

As he spoke, Feng Yizhong pointed at the group of helicopters flying past the flames.I saw them stop suddenly in the air, and then the rain of bullets flew towards a small building not far away. In an instant, the small building was full of flames and smoke and dust. Dumb.

"Boy, look, look, this is a war. It's not like us. When we meet a firepower point, at least one squad of brothers go up to fill the guns. They call the plane directly from the sky. I guess such a battle in Xuzhou, the Labor Party Not many people will die at all.”

Just as he was talking, the door leading to the downstairs from the rooftop was opened, Director Xiao from the reception team came up, leaned over to Feng Yizhong and said.

"President Feng, the Japanese Major Ono is here and wants to see you!"

"see me!"

Hearing that the Japanese came to look for him, Feng Yizhong came to his senses, put the wine bottle on the roof railing, then turned his head and said.

"Is there anything good to see? It's like this. If you come to us when you have time, you might as well go and fight the Labor Party. If the fight is over, we will continue to talk. If we can't fight, what can we do? Go up and fight for them?"

"Well, what Shao Zuo Ono means is that he hopes that we will announce the acceptance of Xuzhou now, so that the Labor Party can do nothing and kill two birds with one stone.

According to what Shao Zuo Ono said, they should still last for an hour, which should be enough time. "

"yes!"

Feng Yizhong turned around, looked at the flames of another explosion not far away, and the faintly audible cheers.

"It's late, you only came to see us now, why did you go early, no see! Just say I'm drunk!"

As he spoke, he picked up the bottle on the side and drank it, ignoring Director Xiao who was standing not far behind him.

However, there are not many recruiters with brains like Feng Yizhong. Most of the recruiters who are waiting to be recruited in various cities are basically still in a state of high-sightedness and low-handedness. In their hearts, the Labor Party is just a bunch of soil spores .What can I do?

Huaiyin, in the north-central part of Jiangsu Province, in the east of the Jianghuai Plain, is located in the Yangtze River Delta region and is the intersection of the ancient Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

In the entire northern Jiangsu area, the Japanese army did not occupy the vast rural areas. Therefore, this is also the main activity area and base area of ​​the New Fourth Army in the original history. The Japanese army mainly occupied the cities on various transportation hubs, and Huaiyin is one of them. .

Of course, now, according to the Japanese thinking, ancient cities like Huaiyin have long been tasteless. When the people of the Republic of China came, most of the Japanese garrison troops had been withdrawn, leaving only a few liaison personnel to cooperate with the follow-up plan execution.

Therefore, at this time, those members of the Republican Party have long regarded themselves as the masters of Huaiyin, and they can't wait to parade in the city of Huaiyin every day to show their glory and greatness.

It's a pity that expectations are always good, but reality is always cruel. The sudden airborne operation of the Labor Party completely shattered the dreams of these Republican Party members.

Since there was almost no resistance after the airborne, the attacking force, under the cover of the helicopter squad of the Army Aviation Corps, quickly occupied the office of the hungry Japanese army in Huaiyin, and quickly captured the Japanese, and erected the August [-]st Army Flag in Huaiyin City.

Since there was no battle, the city-wide announcement operation that was originally scheduled to start the next morning was carried out by the way. The seizure of Japanese stores, the arrest of traitors and lackeys, and the posting of announcements for the safety of the people throughout the city, these actions that had been prepared long ago were carried out. The hands of the soldiers are so fast.

Of course, in this way, those senior members of the Republican Party who were still eating a sumptuous dinner in the restaurant were taken by surprise.

"What, Huaiyin City is occupied by the Labor Party?"

After listening to the report from his subordinates, the Huaiyin receiving officials stood up in a panic, and ran out in a hurry, regardless of the pots and pans on the dining table falling to the ground, and ran to the city hall of Huaiyin City.

Before reaching the gate, I saw that the gate of the city hall was full of people, and soldiers dressed in colorful clothes were standing guard on both sides of the gate with guns. There was also a red flag on the top of the four-story building. Fluttering, and at the gate, a figure who looked like an officer was shouting to the people below.

Shi Xingzhong, chairman of the Huaiyin Reception Committee, who had just had a few glasses of wine, got excited at this moment, pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward, pointed at the officer who was shouting, and shouted.

"Are you Labor Party going to rebel?"
