As soon as that person came out, the soldiers were startled, and only then did they know that this person was a commoner.Seeing the terrified look of the common people, obviously being persecuted by the Japanese people, Zhang Shaozeng stepped forward to help the man and said softly: "Master, we are Hualan's army."
"What? Hualan? You are the army of the imperial court?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized it.
Zhang Shao shook his head and smiled wryly. He wanted to let the old man know that there was no court anymore.However, after explaining this, it may take less than half an hour to complete, so he could only nod temporarily and said: "Forget it, as long as you know that we are here to expel the Wa people and bring Yizhou back to the embrace of the motherland."
"Great." The old man jumped up suddenly: "After more than 20 years, the court has finally returned. We are no longer pariahs, we are going home." The old man seemed very excited, and his whole body was shaking , unable to calm down for a long time.
"Old man, do you know which direction Keelung Port is? We are going to fight the Japanese people." Zhang Shaozeng asked casually.
"I know, it's just to the north." The old man pointed in that direction and said, "Let me show you the way. There are still several villages ahead, and we can find a lot of helpers."
"Alright, let's go when my people are all gathered." Zhang Shao once asked everyone to let go of their vigilance, and gathered the paratroopers by the way, while he himself took the old man to the shack and started doing homework.
"Master, are there many people here who are devoted to the motherland?" Zhang Shaozeng asked.
"Of course there are too many. The Japanese people are bad. They bully us Hualan people every day. We can only get half full by the end of a year's hard work. They take away all the rest of the harvest and don't give us any compensation." The old man Some said angrily: "Once there is any job, they will forcefully recruit young men. Most of the young people in the village were taken away, and none of them came back alive. My son was also forced to be strong men."
"We came late, the people of Yizhou are suffering too much." Zhang Shaozeng said with a sigh.
The old man shook his head: "That's not enough. As long as the Japanese soldiers come to the countryside, the girls and daughters-in-law of the village will hide in the mountains. If they can't hide in time, they may be arrested. As long as they are captured, there will be no one. They were put back. Children in the village are often lost too, and once they are lost, they will never be found again.”
"Since the Japanese people are so hateful, why don't you rise up and resist?" Zhang Shaozeng's tone was a little excited.
The old man shook his head and said, "Why didn't you resist? The Black Banner Army led everyone to fight against the Japanese in the Jiawu year. Many young people in our hometown participated, and I went too." The old man seemed to think of those passionate years, and couldn't help it. Shaking his head and sighing: "At that time, we followed the leader Hu Jiayou to fight against the Japanese people. At that time, General Liu Yongfu personally took command. Our [-]th Route Rebel Army joined forces in Hsinchu, and the black flag covered the sky. Everyone made an alliance with blood and vowed to kill the Japanese people. Drive them out of Yizhou."
6Chapter 16 Memories of the Old Man
"What happened next?" Seeing that the old man seemed to be lost in memory, and he spoke more and more slowly, Zhang Shaozeng couldn't help asking.
The old man sighed and said: "Everyone is very brave. Those who dare to stand up and kill the Wa people are not afraid of death. But the Wa people have guns and cannons, and we can't even have a big knife for each of us. Later, the master led us to attack the Wa country People, we fought well at the beginning and killed many Japanese people. But the Japanese people increased their troops later, and there were more and more of them. The river is dyed red." Speaking of which, the old man was already sobbing and sobbing.
"Old man, what happened next?" Gu Zhutong, the head of the first regiment of paratroopers, had just arrived for a while, and he couldn't help asking after hearing the old man's crying.
The old man said: "It's dead, it's all dead. The Japanese people are too hateful, and they killed all the people who resisted. I was hacked and passed out, and that's how I saved my life. When I woke up, the Japanese People have already left. I crawled out from the pile of dead people, crawled back home enduring the pain, and lay in bed with a serious illness. When I recovered and was able to go to the field, I heard people in the same village say that many rebels were killed. Killed, General Liu Yongfu's black flag army was wiped out, and the general was forced to retreat to Kuaiji."
Hearing the old man's narration, everyone who was listening sighed.Zhang Shaozeng said in a low voice: "Brothers, listen clearly, how many of our compatriots have been killed by the Japanese. Today is the time for us to collect debts. Remember that we have not signed the Geneva Convention, and there is no need to treat prisoners of war well. For those Japanese who invaded us People, don’t leave a single one behind. We need to let the Japanese people know that the debt will be paid with blood.” Zhang Shaozeng gritted his teeth and said the last four words.
"Yes, blood for blood." The soldiers all agreed in low voices.
"Gu Zhutong, is everyone here?" Zhang Shaozeng asked.
The team leader Gu Zhutong nodded: "Except for three people who fell to their deaths in the woods in an accident, everyone else is here."
Zhang Shaozeng nodded: "Bury the remains of the martyrs, and bury all the parachutes. We are now heading to Keelung Port."
"I will help you get to Keelung as soon as possible." The old man wiped away his tears and jumped up: "Today I will do it again and kill all those damn Japanese."
"Okay, thank you sir for leading the way." Zhang Shaozeng said with a smile.
The old man waved his hand: "I'm not old yet. I'm just 57 years old this year, and I'm still a few years away from my sixtieth birthday." He seemed to have regained the energy of the past. Putting on a piece of clothing, he thought for a while and took the hoe in his hand.The old man walked towards the north, and Zhang Shaozeng led everyone to follow closely.
The soldiers of the paratroopers relied on the compass and the stars to locate them, and the old man was familiar with the nearby roads, so they could travel in the dark without any effort.It wasn't until here that Zhang Shaozeng realized how much the people of Yizhou longed for the army from the motherland. The old man went to several familiar villages on the way, and soon many young people picked up hoes, rakes and other farm tools to follow the team.According to them, anyway, the Japanese people would not live for long.Rather than being caught by the Japanese people and dying for no reason, it is better to fight them.
The soldiers of the paratrooper regiment chatted eagerly with these young people along the way.Although most of the soldiers of the paratroopers came from the Northwest, it was very difficult to hear the Kuaiji accent of the Yizhou youths, but this did not prevent them from becoming good friends.When the paratroopers came to the outskirts of Keelung, these young people were able to communicate well with the soldiers of the paratroopers.
"Everyone stop advancing." Zhang Shao once ordered the troops to stop, they did not intend to alarm the Wa people so early.I looked at my watch with the flashlight. It was more than an hour before dawn, and the expected reinforcements would arrive in five hours.They must use this time to occupy the entire Keelung Port as soon as possible.
They are all men who live in the nearby countryside, and there are not a few people who have been to Keelung Port.The young men volunteered to be guides, and soon each platoon had its own guide.
Zhang Shao Zeng assigned tasks to the chief officers in a low voice, and the paratrooper regiment would use the company as a unit to quickly capture the entire important place in Keelung Port.Keelung Port is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side, and Lion Ball Ridge, where the paratroopers are located, is the most important passage from Keelung to the island.
The ancestors of Hualan began to cultivate this land during the period of the Three Kingdoms, and built the original fishing port with hard work. In 1626, the colonists of the Red Clothes Country invaded Keelung, and in 1642 they were replaced by the colonists of the Red Hair Country. It was not until 1667 that Zheng Jing led his troops to drive them away.In the 12th year of Guangxu, Keelung Port was officially opened as a commercial port in the name of Tamsui Port. The Keelung-Taipei Railway was built in 1887 and opened to traffic in 1891.
Liu Mingchuan, who was the governor of Yizhou at that time, planned the construction of Keelung Port, and appointed Lin Weiyuan, the richest man in Yizhou at that time, to take charge of the construction of Keelung Port. He also branched out the longitudinal railway under construction at that time to the port area.However, the port construction project was not fully implemented due to Liu Mingchuan's resignation, and only one land-sea combined transport terminal was completed among the main facilities.
Since the Japanese invasion in 1895, it has once again fallen into the hands of the colonists.Because this is the most important seaport in the north of Yizhou, the Japanese people attach great importance to the development here. They not only double-track the Keelung-Taipei railway, but also wantonly build ports and forts here in an attempt to turn this place into a place where the Japanese control the entire Yizhou. base.
It is precisely because of the good port facilities and railway transportation in Keelung Port that the West Special Army chose this place as the first choice for landing after they decided to attack Yizhou.However, although Keelung Port is good, it poses a great threat to the landing troops.Surrounded by mountains, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since the late Jin Dynasty, a large number of forts have been built nearby. After the Japanese occupied Yizhou, they continued to strengthen their defenses.By this time, the hills near the sea near Keelung were already densely covered with large and small forts, making this the place with the highest density of forts in the country.
If the army wants to land, it will be killed by the firepower of many forts, and it is impossible to destroy those forts in a short time by relying on the warships that the special zone navy can mobilize.It was precisely because of such difficulties that Zhao Shouhong thought of using paratroopers.
Because of the defensive concept at that time, the forts in Keelung Port were all built facing the sea, and their defense against the inland was basically nothing.It is precisely because of such favorable conditions that it is difficult for the forts in Keelung Port to deal with threats from the inland.As long as the paratroopers landed inland and used the inertia of the opponent's thinking to launch a sneak attack, it would be easy to occupy the city.
This is why Zhang Shaozeng was sent here. In order to carry more ammunition, only the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the paratrooper brigade came here this time.The brigade commander Zhang Shaozeng personally led the team and directed the sneak attack.Now that there are guides, Zhang Shaozeng immediately ordered the army to attack when he saw that the defenses in Keelung Harbor were lax.
6Chapter 17 Landing in Yizhou
Soon the elite paratroopers, led by officers at all levels, rushed towards the entire Keelung Port.Peng Qingzong, the battalion commander of the first battalion, rushed to the front. He led a company and officers and soldiers of the battalion headquarters, and rushed towards the garrison camp near the port of Keelung, where the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Keelung was.
The Japanese people never believed that with Hualan's meager naval power, they could attack Keelung Port, so most of the garrisons here were the defenders of the fort.As for the army defending the urban area, there is only one brigade.Even the strength of this brigade is a second-line force. They are not only poorly trained but also poorly armed. At best, they can only be used to suppress civilians.
Such a Japanese army could not stop the elite special zone paratroopers at all. When Peng Qingzong led a team into the barracks and fired at close quarters with submachine guns, the Japanese with rifles could hardly resist and were quickly wiped out.Intensive gunshots rang out from all over the Keelung Port, because the fort was built with trap guns that could not be turned around, and the Japanese army could only resist with light weapons in their hands.
The dark night provided the paratroopers with favorable conditions for close combat. When the two sides fought within ten meters, the submachine gun became the real king.The Japanese army, which was not superior in number, was quickly wiped out.
Unsuspecting forts everywhere also changed hands one after another. When the sky was bright, and the residents who were panicked at home listening to the gunshots walked out of their homes, they found that the Japanese plaster flag was gone, and bright five-star red flags were hung everywhere on the street.
"The army of the motherland has come back." The people of Yizhou, who have not yet been educated by the Japanese emperor, always cherish their homeland. Now that the army of the motherland has finally returned to Yizhou, how can we not let them cry with joy.There was no need for anyone to command, the whole city was decorated with lanterns, festoons and firecrackers. Some people took out all the things used in the festival, and even danced dragons and lions on the street.
Zhang Shao had no time to participate in the celebrations of the people. At this moment, he was standing on the highest fort in Keelung Harbor, looking at the calm sea with binoculars.He kept looking at his watch, as if he was waiting for something, and by his side, regiment leader Gu Zhuping and many other officers were also anxiously waiting.
"Here they come." Gu Zhutong was the first to spot the target, which was a touch of white at the junction of the sea and the sky.The white color is getting bigger and bigger, apparently a destroyer of the SAR Navy is riding the wind and waves.Immediately afterwards, more and more figures of various colors appeared, and under the leadership of a cruiser and four destroyers, dozens of merchant ships sailed towards Keelung Port.
"Hurry up, send out the signal flare." Zhang Shaozeng gave an order, and soon three red signal flares flew into the air.Wu Yuzhang, who was watching with a telescope on the boat, laughed and said, "It's done, Brigadier Zhang is really capable, let's enter the port."
One by one merchant ships first entered the port and slowly docked at the pier.The gangway was lowered slowly, and a large number of soldiers in grass-green military uniforms got off the big ship and lined up neatly on the pier.The steam hanger was also busy, and the cannons were hoisted off the big ship and pushed away by the artillerymen.
Wu Yuzhang and Shen Shoukun got off the boat and met Zhang Shaozeng who was coming. "Brigade Commander Zhang has a great trick. He took control of Keelung Port so quickly." Wu Yuzhang laughed when he saw Zhang Shaozeng. Although the two didn't meet each other often, they cherished each other.
After several times of use by Zhao Shouhong, the paratroopers are now a miracle in the eyes of the army generals.And what Wu Yuzhang did in the Kokang Kingdom, which is now the Kokang Province, has also been widely praised by the upper class, so the two hit it off.
"It seems that we have a lot of troops this time." Zhang Shaozeng and Wu Yuzhang belonged to different systems. He just received the order to airborne Yizhou, and he didn't know who came for reinforcements.Because the troops in the interior were all fighting against the Uro in the north, the task of attacking Yizhou had to be handed over to Wu Yuzhang of Kokang Province.
In order to ensure this victory, Wu Yuzhang not only took command in person, but also brought the most elite first garrison army of Kokang Province.The cross-sea combat of so many armies is an unprecedented event, so Shen Shoukun, the commander of the Zhainiyang Fleet, personally escorted it.
Looking at the men who landed continuously, Wu Yuzhang said with a smile: "This time we have to do a big job, and take the entire Yizhou Island before the Japanese people react. Yizhou has been away from the motherland for too long. It's time to come back."
"That's right, we must act as soon as possible, and we must not let the Wa people react." Zhang Shaozeng said: "There is a railway line to Taipei, let's start as soon as possible."
Relying on the rapidity of the railway, the SAR troops marched southward, and soon captured Taipei City, the center of Yizhou.Then the army was divided into three groups, and under the guidance of the local guides, they advanced deep into Yizhou.The airship unit cooperated closely with Zhang Shaozeng, and the paratrooper brigade landed in Tainan again, catching the Japanese army by surprise.
On the late-night streets of Shudu, a man wearing a gray windbreaker and a gray top hat was hurrying along with a large suitcase.He looked around for no one, and quickly turned into an alley.At the end of the alley, there was a dilapidated wooden door, and he knocked on the door several times hastily.
The door creaked open, and an old man in patched clothes poked his head out.He seemed to know the man in gray, and he gave up his seat with a nod.The man in gray strode into the courtyard without stopping, and walked directly into the house.Behind him, the old man closed the door and bolted it, and then hid in the low gatehouse next to him.
The room was very dark, without any light, and without any sound.The man in gray seems to be very familiar with this place. He found a box of matches from the table and used it to light up the kerosene lamp.The room lit up, illuminating everything around the table, and also illuminating the person sitting on the bed.
"Can't you light the lamp? Every time you sit in the dark, you are not afraid." The man in gray sat at the table and took off his manners, revealing his slightly thinning hair. This man is clearly the staff headquarters of the Western Special Administrative Region Pang Bingxun, deputy chief of the general staff.
